Wildcat Kelly, looking mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when the sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"
Wildcat 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 evening 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 old saddle underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse
Let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

Wildcat Kelly, back again in town
Was sitting by his sweetheart's side
And when his sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down"
Wildcat 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 evening 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 old saddle underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse
Let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
