Wild Cat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale
Was standin' by the sheriff's side
And when that sherrif said, 'I'm sendin' you to jail,'
Wild Cat 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 own saddle underneath the western sky
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountains rise
I wan'na ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon until I loose my senses
I can't look at cobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in!
