George Maharis - Don't Fence Me In lyrics

rate me

Oh, give me land, lots of land<br />

Under starry skies above<br />

Don't fence me in<br />

<br />

Let me ride through the<br />

Wide open country that I love<br />

Don't fence me in<br />

<br />

Let me be by myself<br />

In the evening breeze<br />

Listen to the murmur<br />

Of the cottonwood trees<br />

<br />

Send me off forever<br />

But I ask you please<br />

Don't fence me in<br />

<br />

Just turn me loose<br />

Let me straddle my old saddle<br />

Underneath the western skies<br />

<br />

On my Cayuse<br />

Let me wander over yonder<br />

Till I see the mountains rise<br />

<br />

I want to ride to the ridge<br />

Where the West commences<br />

Gaze at the moon<br />

Till I lose my senses<br />

<br />

Can't look at hobbles<br />

And I can't stand fences<br />

Don't fence me in<br />

Don't fence me in<br />

<br />

No, don't fence me in<br />

No, don't, don't fence me in
