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 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 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.
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.
