Wild Cat Kelly

 
Wild Cat Kelly, looking mighty pale,  
Was standing by the sherrif's side, 
And when that sherrif said "I'm sending you to jail," 
Wild Cat raised his head and cried :

Oh give me land, lots of land and the starry skies above, 
Don't fence me in, 
Let me dream of the wide open country that I love, 
Don't fence me in. 
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, 
Listenin' to the murmurin' of the cotton wool trees, 
Send me off forever but I ask you please, 
Don't fence me in.

Wild Cat Kelly, looking mighty pale, 
Was seated by his sweetheart's side, 
And when his sweetheart said "Come on let's settle down," 
Wild Cat raised his head and cried :
