Don't Fence Me In Songtext
von Roy Rogers & The Sons of the Pioneers

Wildcat Kelly lookin mighty pale was standin by the sherrifs side.
And when that Sherrif 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
And 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
And gaze at the moon untl I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can′t stand fences
Don′t fence me in

Give me land, lots of land, under the 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 and
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

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
And gaze at the moon util I lose my senses
Can′t look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don′t fence me in
