Текст песни The Farmer and the Cowman (Charlotte Greenwood and Gordon Maccrae) с переводом

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

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,

He come out west and made a lot of changes

He come out west and built a lot of fences,

And built 'em right acrost our cattle ranges

The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen,

No matter what the cowman says of things

You seldom see 'em drinkin' in a bar room

Unless somebody else is buyin drinks

But the farmer and the cowman should be friends

Oh, the famer 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 farmer’s daughters,

Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals

I’d like to say a word for the cowboy,

The road he treads is difficult and stoney

He rides for days on end with jist a pony for a friend

I sure am 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 daughters!

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
