Oh, give me land, Lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in, Let me ride thru 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 cay-use 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.
