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 evening 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
O 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 evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don’t fence me in
Oh no, brother don’t you fence me in.
Cole Porter
