Frankie Laine - 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

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 till I lose my senses,

And I can't look at harbours an' I can’t stand fences

Don’t fence me in.

((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,

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,

And 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.
