Cole Porter's been responsible for many, many hits
His music always has the flavor of the big city
But his newest tune is strictly a western ballad
And is being used in the new Warner Brother picture "Hollywood Canteen"
It's called "Don't Fence Me In"
And it is sung by Ms. Eileen Barton and a pin-boy from the local bowling alley
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 lose
Let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western sky
On my Cayuse
Let me wander over yonder
'Til I see the mountains rise
I wanna 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!
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
Aye, 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 sky
On my Cayuse
Let me wander over yonder
'Til I see the mountains rise
I wanna ride to the ridge where the west commences (Hold the phone!)
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 (Don't fence me in)
Don't fence me in!
