|
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 |
|
An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses |
|
An' I can't look at harbors an' 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 evenin' breeze |
|
An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees |

|
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 harbors an' I can't stand fences |
|
So don't fence me in, oh no |
|
Now brother, don't you fence me in |
