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,
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 till I lose my senses
And I can`t look at hovels and I can`t stand fences
Don`t fence me in.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies,
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
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.
Ba boo ba ba boo.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can`t look at hobbles and I can`t stand fences
Don`t fence me in.
No.
Poppa, don`t you fence me in
