美國影歌票房天王［平克勞斯貝］＆［安德魯斯姐妹］──傳統流行經典──美國榜冠軍──［Don’t Fence Me In／別阻擋我］

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Dont fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love

Dont fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin breeze

And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Dont 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

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I cant look at hovels and I cant stand fences

Dont fence me in

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies

Dont fence me in

Let me ride through the wide country that I love

Dont fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin breeze

And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Dont 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

Ba boo ba ba boo

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I cant look at hobbles and I cant stand fences

Dont fence me in

No

Poppa, dont you fence me in

１９３４年, 好萊塢的二十世紀福斯公司籌備歌舞片［Adios, Argentina］

請名作曲家Cole Porter寫一首牛仔歌曲

Porter從Robert Fletcher手上買來一首詩, 並加以改寫, 並譜上曲, 成為［Don’t Fence Me In／別阻擋我］

只是電影並沒成行

１９４４年, 華納推出歌舞喜劇片［Hollywood Canteen］

西部片明星Roy Rogers在片中演唱［Don’t Fence Me In］

同年著名歌手Kate Smith在廣播演唱──這是許多人首次聽到此曲

這年４１歲的歌壇／影壇首席票房天王平克勞斯貝（Bing Crosby）與時常搭檔的著名合聲團體安德魯斯姐妹（Andrew Sisters）演翻唱此曲, 並由Vic Schoen與他的管弦樂團伴奏

這首傳統流行曲輕鬆搖曳, 平與安德魯斯姐妹的聲音也搭配和諧

［Don’t Fence Me In］在１９４４年底／１９４５年初的Billboard單曲榜拿到八週冠軍, 並賣出一百多萬張　拿到金唱片

此外拿到R&B榜＃９

這也是此曲最著名的版本
