Coyotes Lyrics by Dave Stamey

Campfire Waltz

0

There was a cowboy I knew in South Texas
His face was burnt deep by the sun
Part history, part sage and part mesquite
He was there when Pancho Villa was young
And he'd tell you a tale of the old days
When the country was wild all around
Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way
And listen while the coyotes howl
And they go... poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Now the longhorns are gone
And the drovers are gone
And the Comanches are gone
And the outlaws are gone
Geronimo is gonе
And Sam Bass is gone
And the lion is gone
And thе red wolf is gone
Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men
And he cursed the automobile
Said this is no place for an hombre like I am
In this new world of asphalt and steel
Then he'd look somewhere off in the distance
At something only he could see
He'd say all that's left now of the old days
Those damned old coyotes and me
And they go: poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Now the long horns are gone
And the drovers are gone
And the Comanches are gone
And the outlaws are gone
Now Quantah is gone
Stand Waite is gone
And the lion is gone
And the red wolf is gone
One morning they searched his adobe
He disappeared without even a word
But that night as the moon crossed the mountains
One more coyote was heard
And he'd go, poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo yip poo yip poo
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
