Lyrics
Wildcat kelley, lookin mighty pale, Was standin by the sherrifs 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 Kelly, back again in town, Was standing by his sweethearts side, And when his sweetheart said come on lets 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 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 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
