Don't Fence Me In

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
 And 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
 And 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
 Wilcat Kelly, back in town again
 Was standin' by his Sweetheart's 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
 And 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
 And 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
