Don't Fence Me In

Gene Autry
Seq. Unknown Kar. By Fred

Oh, give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride thru 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 for ever, 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,
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses,
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences,
Don't fence me in.
Don't fence me in.

Howdy  You'all
Words
Don't Fence Me In
