Frankie Laine Dont Fence Me In Lyrics

Dont Fence Me In Lyrics

Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,

Dont fence me
in.

Let me ride through that wide open country that I love:

Dont
fence me in.

Let me be by myself in the evenin breeze,

An' listen
to the murmur of the cottonwood trees.

Send me off forever but I ask you
please,

Dont 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,

An' gaze at the moon
till I lose my senses,

An' I can't look at harbours an' I cant stand
fences:

Dont fence me in. 



Instrumental break. 



(Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,)

(Dont
fence me in.)

(Let me ride through that wide open country that I
love:)

(Dont fence me in.)

Let me be by myself in the evenin
breeze,

An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees.

Send me
off forever but I ask you please,

Dont 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,

An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,

An' I can't
look at harbours an' I cant stand fences:

So dont fence me in, oh no,

Now brother, dont you fence me in.
