Lyrics

[00:00.213] Wildcat Kelley,lookin' mighty pale
[00:13.069] Was standin' by the sherrif's side
[00:17.370] And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin' you to jail"
[00:21.710] Wildcat raised his head and cried
[00:24.949] Oh, give me land,lots of land under starry skies above
[00:30.350] Don't fence me in
[00:34.285] Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
[00:38.933] Don't fence me in
[00:42.749] Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
[00:47.350] Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[00:51.925] Send me off forever but I ask you please
[00:56.197] Don't fence me in
[00:58.965] Just turn me loose,let me straddle my old saddle
[01:03.309] Underneath the western skies
[01:07.469] On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
[01:12.021] Till I see the mountains rise
[01:15.565] I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
[01:22.092] Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
[01:26.380] Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[01:30.589] Don't fence me in
[01:34.908] Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
[01:47.892] Was sittin' by his sweethearts side
[01:52.148] And when his sweetheart said "come on let's settle down"
[01:56.500] Wildcat raised his head and cried
[01:59.700] Oh, give me land,lots of land under starry skies
[02:06.136] Don't fence me in
[02:09.238] Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
[02:13.876] Don't fence me in
[02:17.716] Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
[02:22.252] Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[02:26.947] Send me off forever but I ask you please
[02:31.351] Don't fence me in
[02:34.179] Just turn me loose,let me straddle my old saddle
[02:38.315] Underneath the western skies
[02:42.508] On my Cayuse,let me wander over yonder
[02:47.043] Till I see the mountains rise
[02:50.780] I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
[02:56.883] Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
[03:01.300] Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[03:05.603] Don't fence me in
