The Coyote & The Cowboy
By Ian Tyson ASCAP
1986 Slick Fork Music --
CAPAC
The coyote is a survivor
I reckon he's got to be
He lives in the snow at 40 below
Or in Malibu by the sea
And I'm just an old cowpuncher
I love to listen to his tune
As I get high on a bottle of rye
The coyote gets high on the
moon
As I get high on a bottle of rye
The coyote gets high on the
moon
Repeat 1 st Verse again
Well the cowboy is a conundrum
A contradiction in this age
Well he says he's doing fine
On the poverty line
With a working cowboy's wage
The whiskey bottle costs 13
bucks
The big prairie moon is free
So who is the dumber son of a
bitch
The little coyote or me
So who is the dumber son of a
bitch
The little coyote or me
So with thoughts of reincarnation
Well I drifted off to dream
I mated for life with a coyote
wife
A bushy tail coyote queen
Away down in the valley
At the old Longview Saloon
The cowboy got high on a bottle
of rye
We got drunk on the moon
The cowboy got high on a bottle
of rye
We got drunk on the moon
Repeat 1st Verse
