Don't Fence Me In Lyrics - Singles - Lari White

Wildcat Kelley, looking mighty pale 

Was standing by the Sheriff's side 

And when the 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 wide 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 

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses 

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences 

Don't fence me in 

Wildcat Kelley, back again in town 

Was sitting by his sweetheart's side 

And when his sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down" 

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 wide 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 

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses 

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences 

Don't fence me in
