Ohgive me landlots 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

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 looselet me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies.

On my cayuselet me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise.



I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in.



Ohgive me landlots of land under starry skies

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

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 looselet me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my cayuselet me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise.



I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in.

No.

Poppadon't you fence me in
