Don't Fence Me In / Strollin'
Wildcat Kelly lookin' mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"
Wildcat raised her 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
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 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
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 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"
Wildcat raised her 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
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 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
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 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
