Cole Porter - Don't Fence Me In lyrics
Artist: Cole Porter
album: Work From Home with Cole Porter
Wildcat Kelley, lookin' mighty pale
Was standin' by the Sheriff's side
And when the Sheriff said, "I'm sendin' you to jail"
Wildcat raised his 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 evenin' 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 hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
Was sittin' by his sweethearts side
And when his sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down"
Wildcat raised his 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 evenin' 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 hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Was standin' by the Sheriff's side
And when the Sheriff said, "I'm sendin' you to jail"
Wildcat raised his 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 evenin' 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 hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
Was sittin' by his sweethearts side
And when his sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down"
Wildcat raised his 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 evenin' 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 hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
