Mireille Mathieu

Don't fence me in

DON'T FENCE ME IN

Duet: Mireille Mathieu & Dean Martin.



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 till I see the mountains rise.

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences,

Gaze up at the moon till I loose my senses.

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences,

Don't fence me in.
