Vaughn Monroe – Don't Fence Me In lyrics

VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCALS BY VAUGHN MONROE(VM) AND THE
MOON MAIDS (MM)
VM&MM 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.

VM LET ME BE BY MYSELF IN THE EVENING BREEZE,
LISTEN TO THE MURMUR OF THE COTTONWOOD
TREES.
VM&MM SEND ME OFF FOREVER, BUT I ASK YOU PLEASE
DON'T FENCE ME IN.

VM 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.

VM&MM 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.

AN ORCHESTRAL INTERLUDE

VM 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.

VM&MM 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.

BRIEF ORCHESTRAL INPUT

VM&MM DON'T FENCE ME IN.
