(Cole Porter)

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride in the wide open country I love

Don't fence me in

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

Let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western sky

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 until I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose

Let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western sky

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 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, don't fence me in

Don't fence me, don't fence me, don't fence me in
