Lyrics

[00:00.513] Wildcat Kelley,lookin' mighty pale
[00:13.369] Was standin' by the sherrif's side
[00:17.670] And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin' you to jail"
[00:22.010] Wildcat raised his head and cried
[00:25.249] Oh, give me land,lots of land under starry skies above
[00:30.650] Don't fence me in
[00:34.585] Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
[00:39.233] Don't fence me in
[00:43.049] Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
[00:47.650] Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[00:52.225] Send me off forever but I ask you please
[00:56.497] Don't fence me in
[00:59.265] Just turn me loose,let me straddle my old saddle
[01:03.609] Underneath the western skies
[01:07.769] On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
[01:12.321] Till I see the mountains rise
[01:15.865] I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
[01:22.392] Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
[01:26.680] Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[01:30.889] Don't fence me in
[01:35.208] Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
[01:48.192] Was sittin' by his sweethearts side
[01:52.448] And when his sweetheart said "come on let's settle down"
[01:56.800] Wildcat raised his head and cried
[02:00.000] Oh, give me land,lots of land under starry skies
[02:06.436] Don't fence me in
[02:09.538] Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
[02:14.176] Don't fence me in
[02:18.016] Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
[02:22.552] Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[02:27.247] Send me off forever but I ask you please
[02:31.651] Don't fence me in
[02:34.479] Just turn me loose,let me straddle my old saddle
[02:38.615] Underneath the western skies
[02:42.808] On my Cayuse,let me wander over yonder
[02:47.343] Till I see the mountains rise
[02:51.080] I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
[02:57.183] Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
[03:01.600] Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[03:05.903] Don't fence me in
