Roy Rogers - Don't Fence Me In songtekst
Je score:
Was standing by the sheriff's side; And when that sheriff said "I'm sending you to jail," Wildcat raised his head and cried: (chorus:) Oh, give me land, lots of land Under starry skies above, Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wild open Country that I love, Don't fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evening breeze- Listen to the murmer 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. 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, Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses, Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, Don't fence me in. Wildcat Kelly, back again in town, Was sitting by his sweetheart's side, And when his sweetheart said: "Come on, let's settle down," Wildcat raised his head and cried: (chorus) Note: - Cayuse "A term ascribed to any horse of little value." - hobble "A rope or strap used to fetter (handcuff) the forelegs of an animal."
