Salutations, gentlefolk!

"For the Mongols and the Vikings should be friends.
Yes, the Mongols and the Vikings should be friends,
Oh, one raids from the seee,
and one rides the steppe countree,
but that's no reason why they can't be friends..."

Brought memories of singing this filksong in the '80's. Anyone remember the other verses ?

Well, this is one of the songs from the musical Oklahoma (1940s I think.) The Farmers and the Cowman should be friends.

Oh the farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plow
The other likes to chase a cow
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 the farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the rancher's gals

Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the rancher's gals!

I'd like to say a word for the farmer
