Music: Cole Porter; Lyrics: Robert Fletcher, Cole Porter 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 evening breeze, Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me out 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 until I lose my senses. Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences. Don't fence me in. Just turn me loose ... Don't fence me in, don't fence me in.
