Horace Silver
Don’t Fence Me In / Strollin’
[Intro: Kelly Clarkson]
Wildcat Kelly lookin' mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said "I'm sending you to jail"
Wildcat raised her head and cried
[Instrumental]
[Verse: Kelly Clarkson]
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 mе off forever, but I ask you pleasе
Don't fence me in
[Verse: Kelly Clarkson]
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 at the moon till I lose my senses
Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
[Instrumental]

Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
