Eddy Arnold Lyrics
"Don't Fence Me In"

(Cole Porter)

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 out 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
Can't look at hubbles and I can't stand fences
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.

Don't fence me in...
