Emilie Mover Don't Fence Me In song lyrics

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 evenin' 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 ol' 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

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

Don't fence me in

Wildcat kelley, back again in town

Was standin 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 evenin' 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 ol' 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
