Hey, hey
I'm talking you Chalmers, you great big mule
You just dropped that beam
I never dropped nothin'
One of you dumb cow folks let it go
Oh, yeah?
Yeah (c'mon)
Yeah (c'mon)
The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plough
The other likes to chase a cow
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' girls
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' girls
C'mon, Andrew, help me out here
I'd like to say a word for the farmer (well, say it)
He come out west and made a lot of changes
He come out west and built a lot of fences (right)
And built 'em right across our cattle ranges
Why ain't those dirt scratchers stay in Missouri where they belong?
Hell, we got as much right here as anybody else (oh, let me at him)
You reckon so? (I reckon so)
C'mon, I'll kill him (gentlemen, shut up)
The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen (oh, he's thrifty, alright)
No matter what the cowman says or thinks
You'll seldom see him drinkin' in a barroom (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Unless somebody else is buying drinks
But, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
The cowman ropes a cow with ease
The farmer steals her butter and cheese
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' girls
I'd like to say a word for the cowboy (oh, you would)
The road he treads is difficult and stony
He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend
I sure am feelin' sorry fer the pony
The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy
If he rides by and asks for food and water
Don't treat him like a lous, make him welcome in your house
But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughter
Ha, who needs an old farm woman any way?
Noticed you married one so you can get a square meal
Hey, you can't talk that way about our women, folks (shut up)
He can say why he want to say (hey, you, you, hush)

Ain't nobody gonna slug out anythin'
This here is a party
Sing it, Andrew
Dum-didy-um-dum-dum
The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plough
The other likes to chase a cow
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
And when this territory is a state
And joins the Union just like all the others
The farmer, and cowman, and the merchant
Must all behave their selves and act like brothers
I'd like to teach you all a little sayin'
And learn these words by heart the way you should
I don't say, "I'm no better than anybody else"
But I'll be damned if I ain't just as good
I don't say, "I'm no better than anybody else"

Whoa!
Whoa!
