Yee-haw
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 farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals

Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals

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
And built 'em right across our cattle ranges

I'd like to say a word for the cowboy (oh, you would)
The road he treads is difficult and stoney
He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend
I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony

The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy 
When he rides by and asks for food and water
Don't treat him like a louse make him welcome in your house
But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughters

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
An' joins the Union jus' like all the others
The farmer, and cowman and the merchant
Must all behave themselves and act like brothers

I'd like to teach you all a little sayin'
And learn the 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
But I'll be damned if I ain't just as good

Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
