Don Edwards - Coyotes lyrics
rate meWas a cowboy I knew in south Texas<br />
His face was burnt deep by the sun<br />
Part history, part sage, part mesquite<br />
He was there when Poncho Villa was young<br />
<br />
And he'd tell you a tale of the old days<br />
When the country was wild all around<br />
Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way<br />
And listen while the coyotes howl<br />
<br />
And they go, poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo<br />
Poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo<br />
<br />
Now the long horns are gone<br />
And the drovers are gone<br />
And the Comanches are gone<br />
And the outlaws have gone<br />
<br />
And Geronimo is gone<br />
And Sam Bass is gone<br />
And the red wolf is gone<br />
And the buffalo is gone<br />
<br />
Well, he cursed all the roads and the oil men<br />
He even cursed the automobile<br />
And he said, "This ain't place for an hombre like I am<br />
In this new world of asphalt and steel"<br />
<br />
Then he'd look off some place in the distance<br />
At something only he could see<br />
He'd say all that's left now of the old days<br />
And them damned old coyotes and me<br />
<br />
And they go, poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo<br />
Poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo<br />
<br />
Now the long horns are gone<br />
And the drovers are gone<br />
And the Comanche's are gone<br />
And the outlaws have gone<br />
<br />
And Geronimo is gone<br />
Stan Watie is gone<br />
And the red wolf is gone<br />
And the buffalo is gone<br />
<br />
Then one morning they searched his adobe<br />
He disappeared without even a word<br />
And that night as the moon crossed the mountain<br />
One more coyote was heard<br />
<br />
And he'd go, poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo<br />
Poo yip poo yip poo<br />
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
