DON'T FENCE ME IN
Wild Cat Kelly lookin' mighty pale
Was standin' by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said I'm sendin' you to jail
Wild Cat raised his head and cried
Oh give me land lots 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
Listen to the murmur of the cotton wood 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
'Til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon 'til I loose my senses
I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
