Testo della canzone The Farmer And The Cowman (Philip Rash feat. Mary Wickes, Harry Groener, Laurence Guittard, Nick Jolley, Robert Ray, Stephen Crain, Christine Ebersole & Rodgers & Hammerstein), tratta dall'album Oklahoma! (1979 Revival Cast Recording)
The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plow
Other likes to chase a cow
That's no reason why they cain'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
Why don't you dirt-scratchers go back to Missouri where you belong?
We got just as much right here!
Gentlemen, shut up!
(Sung)
The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen
He's thrifty all right
No matter what the cowman says or thinks
You seldom see him drinkin' in a barroom
Unless somebody else is buyin' 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
Farmer steals her butter and cheese
That's no reason why they cain'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
I'd like to say a word for the cowboy
You would!
The roads he treads is difficult and stoney
That's right
He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend
I'm sure feelin' sorry for 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 louse
Make him welcome in your house
But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughter
Who wants an old farm woman anyhow?
Notice you married one so's you could get a square meal
You can't talk about our womenfolk that way!
The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
Ain't nobody gonna slug out anything, this here is a party. Break it
Up you two old fools. All right
Andrew, sing it. Dum-diddy-um-dum-dum
The farmer and the cowman should be friends
All right, everybody
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
That's right, sing it
One man likes to push a plow
The other likes to chase a cow
That's no reason why they cain't be friends
And when this territory is a state
And joins the Union just like all the others
The farmer and the cowman and the merchant
Must all behave theirselves 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
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
