Don't Fence Me In (Album Version)

Don't Fence Me In (Album Version) - The Ray Conniff Singers

Wildcat Kelley lookin' mighty pale

Was standin' by the sherrif's side

And when the sherrif said I'm sendin' you to jail

Wildcat raised his head and cried

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

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

That's right

No tights up

Is Cayuse let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

On both side

Up in the skies

I want to ride to the ridge

Where the west commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Wildcat Kelley back again in town

Was sittin' by his sweethearts side

And when his sweetheart said

Come on let's settle down

Wildcat raised his head and cried

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

No

Don't fence me in

Wildcat Kelley we never see him cry

Wildcat Kelley he never comes to town

Wildcat Kelley he never settled down

Wildcat Kelley on the preiry
