" Don't Fence Me In "
By: Bing Crosby
Oh, give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride thru the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evening breezes,
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off for ever, 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 younder
till I see the mountain rise;
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences,
Gaze at the moon till I loose my senses,
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in..
