The Tune:
Lyrics:
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 until I lose my senses, I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, Don't fence me in!
