Don’t Fence Me In Lyrics by John Barrowman

John Barrowman Swings Cole Porter

2004

Oh, give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wild 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 sky
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 hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
