Roy Rogers - Don't Fence Me In Lyrics
Wildcat Kelly, lookin' mighty paleWas standing by the sheriff's sideAnd when that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"Wildcat raised his head and criedOh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies aboveDon't fence me inLet me ride through the wild open country that I loveDon't fence me inLet me be by myself in the evening breezeListen to the murmur of the cottonwood treesSend me off forever, but I ask you pleaseDon't fence me inJust turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddleUnderneath the western skiesOn my cayuse, let me wander over yonderTill I see the mountains riseI want to ride to the ridge where the west commencesAnd gaze at the moon until I lose my sensesI can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fencesDon't fence me inOh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies aboveDon't fence me inLet me ride through the wild open country that I loveDon't fence me inLet me be by myself in the evening breezeListen to the murmur of the cottonwood treesSend me off forever, but I ask you pleaseDon't fence me inJust turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddleUnderneath the western skiesOn my cayuse, let me wander over yonderTill I see the mountains riseI want to ride to the ridge where the west commencesAnd gaze at the moon until I lose my sensesI can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fencesDon't fence me in
