[Verse 1]
Wildcat Kelley, looking mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when the 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 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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Wildcat Kelley, 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
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
