Dont Fence Me In

Wildcat Kelley, looking mighty pale

Was standing by the Sheriff's side

And when the Sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail

Wildcat raised his head and criedOh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me inLet me be by myself in the evening breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me inJust turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the Western skies

On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains riseI want to ride to the ridge where the West commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me inWildcat Kelley, back again in town

Was sitting by his sweetheart's side

And when his sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down"

Wildcat raised his head and criedOh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me inLet me be by myself in the evening breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me inJust turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the Western skies

On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains riseI want to ride to the ridge where the West commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in
