F - Don't Fence Me In Lyrics

O 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.

O 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 and I'll straddle on my saddle
underneath the western skies.
On my cayoose 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,
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences,
Don't fence me in.

Repeat all

F - Don't Fence Me In Lyrics

Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,
Don’t fence me in.
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love:
Don’t fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze,
An' 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,
An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,
An' I can't look at harbours an' I can’t stand fences:
Don’t fence me in.

Instrumental break.

(Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,)
(Don’t fence me in.)
(Let me ride through that wide open country that I love:)
(Don’t fence me in.)
Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze,
An' 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,
An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,
An' I can't look at harbours an' I can’t stand fences:
So don’t fence me in, oh no,
Now brother, don’t you fence me in.
