1
Wildcat kelley, lookin mighty pale,
2
Was standin by the sherrifs side
3
And when the sherrif said I'm sendin you to jail,
4
Wildcat raised his head and cried
5
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
6
Don't fence me in.
7
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
8
Don't fence me in.
9
Let me be by myself in the evenin breeze,
10
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
11
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
12
Don't fence me in.
13
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
14
Underneath the western skies.
15
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
16
Till I see the mountains rise.
17
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
18
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
19
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
20
Don't fence me in.
21
Wildcat kelley, back again in town,
22
Was standin by his sweethearts side,
23
And when his sweetheart said come on lets settle down,
24
Wildcat raised his head and cried
25
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies,
26
Don't fence me in.
27
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
28
Don't fence me in.
29
Let me be by myself in the evenin breeze
30
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
31
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
32
Don't fence me in
33
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
34
Underneath the western skies
35
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
36
Till I see the mountains rise.
37
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
38
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
39
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
40
Don't..... Fence me in.
