A cowboy's work is never done
Works hard from sun to sun
The rancher is the man that feeds us all
Now people jump and shout
"Hey, we want the rancher out"
The rancher is the man that feeds them all
The rancher is the man
The rancher is the man
He lives on credit til the fall
But with the taxes so damn high
It's a wonder that he don't die
The taxman is the man that gets it all
Now the lawyer hangs around
While the butcher cuts the found
The rancher is the man that feeds us all
The preacher and the cook
Go strolling by the brook
While the rancher is the man that feeds them all
The rancher is the man
The rancher is the man
He lives on credit til the fall
But the interest that he pays
Takes his money all away
And the mortgage man's the man that gets it all
Now the rancher comes to town
With his wagons broken down
The rancher is the man that feeds us all
And the bankers says he's broke
'Cause the country's up in smoke
Still the rancher is the man that feeds them all
The rancher is the man
The rancher is the man
He lives on credit til the fall
Then they take their pen in hand
They put a lean upon his land
The banker is the man that gets it all
Now the government wants his land
But they don't seem to understand
That the rancher is the man that feeds us all
'Cause if the rancher took a rest
They'd all be starving half to d**h
The rancher is the man that feeds them all
The rancher is the man
The rancher is the man
He lives on credit til the fall
Then they take him by the hand
And they lead him off his land
The rancher is the man that feeds us all
Then Uncle Sam's the man that gets it all
