The Farmer and the Cowman Lyrics by Oklahoma! (2019 Broadway Cast)

Oklahoma! (2019 Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[ANDREW]
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 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
[ALL]
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with thе ranchers' gals
[CORD]
I'd like to say a word fer thе farmer
[AUNT ELLER]
Well, say it!
[CORD]
He come out west and made a lot of changes
[WILL]
He come out west and built a lot of fences
[CURLY]
And built 'em right across the cattle ranges
[AUNT ELLER]
I'd to say a word for the cowboy
[CURLY]
Oh, you would!
[AUNT ELLER]
The road he treads is difficult and stoney
He rides for days on end
With just a pony for a friend
[ANNIE]
I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony
[AUNT ELLER]
The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy
If he rides by an' ask for food an' water
Don't treat him like a louse
Make him welcome in your house
[IKE]
But be sure that you lock up your wife an' daughters
[ALL]
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 cain't be friends
[CURLY]
And when this territory is a state
An' joins the Union jus' like all the others
The farmer, and cowman and the merchant
Mus' all behave theirselves and act like brothers
[AUNT ELLER]
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 jist as good!
[ALL]
I don't say I'm no better than anybody else
But I'll be damned if I ain't jist as good!
[CURLY]
Ay!
[ALL]
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
