Don Edwards - Coyotes lyrics

rate me

Was 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
