Don Edwards - The Ranchers Song lyrics

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
