Don`t Fence Me In Lyrics

Wildcat Kelley, lookin' mighty pale,
Was standin' by the sherrif's
side
And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin you to jail,
Wildcat
raised his head and cried

Oh, 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 in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin'
breeze,
listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever
but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.

Just 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 rise.

I want to ride to
the ridge where the west commences
gaze at the moon till I lose my
senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me
in.


Wildcat Kelley, back again in town,
was standin by his
sweethearts side,
And when his sweetheart said "come on let's settle
down,
Wildcat raised his head and cried


Oh, give me land, lots of
land under starry skies,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide
open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the
evenin' breeze
listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off
forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in

Just 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 rise.


I want
to ride to the ridge where the west commences
gaze at the moon till I lose
my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't.....
fence me in.
