[Eller:] The road he treads is difficult and stoney He rides fer days on end With just a poney fer a friend [Annie:] I sure feelin' sorry fer the poney! [Eller:] The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy If he rides by an' ask fer food an' water Don't treat 'im like a louse Make 'im welcome in your house [Ike:] But be sure that you locked up yo' wife an' daughters [Girls][Chorus 1] [Eller:] Ain't nobody gonna slug out anythin'. This here is a party! Break it up ya' two ol' fools. Alright Andrew sing it! Dum-dah-dee-um-dum-dum! [Andrew:] Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends [All][Chorus 1] [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 [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! [Chorus 2]
