Don’t Fence Me In - Roy Rogers

Wildcat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale

Was standing by the sheriff’s side

And when that sheriff said, «I'm sending 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 wild open country that I love

Don’t fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening 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

And gaze at the moon until I lose my senses

I can’t look at hobbles 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 the wild open country that I love

Don’t fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening 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

And gaze at the moon until I lose my senses

I can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences

Don’t fence me in
