LOUIS ARMSTRONG - Don't Fence Me In lyrics

rate me

Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above<br>But don't fence me in<br>Let me ride through that wide open country that I love<br>Don't fence me in<br>Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze<br>Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees<br>Send me off forever but I ask you please<br>Don't fence me in<br><br>Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle<br>Underneath the western skies<br>On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder<br>Till I see the mountains rise<br><br>I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences<br>Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses<br>I don't like hobbles and I can't stand fences<br>Don't fence me in<br><br>(instrumental break)<br><br>Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle<br>Underneath the western skies<br>On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder<br>Till I see the mountains rise<br><br>I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences<br>Gaze at that ole moon until I lose my senses<br>I can't stand them hobbles and I don't care for fences<br>Don't fence me in<br><br>Oh no...don't you fence me in
