[Intro]
Wildcat Kelly lookin' mighty pale
Was standin' by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said, "I'm sendin' you to jail"
Wildcat raised his head and cried

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
'Til I see the mountains rise

[Verse 3]
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
