Lyric Don t Fence Me In

(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
