Don't Fence Me In / Strollin' (Instrumental)

Wildcat Kelly lookin' mighty pale

Was standing by the sheriff's side

And when that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"

Wildcat raised her 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 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 hovels and I can't stand fences

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 hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in
