Don't Fence Me In Lyrics & Tabs by Moe Bandy
Don't Fence Me In
guitar chords lyrics
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 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
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 skies
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:
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...
