Don't Fence Me In
Lyrics
Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love
Don't 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
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
And I can't look at harbours and I can't stand fences
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 that wide open country that I love:)
(Don?t fence me in.)
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
An' 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
An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
An' I can't look at harbours and I can?t stand fences
So don?t fence me in, oh no
Now brother, don?t you fence me in
