Don't Fence Me In Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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 

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 

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, 

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 

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 

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

Don't fence me in
