The Coyote & The Cowboy

The Coyote & The Cowboy - Ian Tyson

Coyote's a survivor

I reckon he's got to be

He lives in the snow

At 40 below or Malibu by the sea

An' I'm just an old cow puncher

I love to listen to his tune

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon

Try 'er gang

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon

Fantastic try the whole verse all together now

Coyote's a survivor I reckon he's got to be

He lives in the snow

At 40 below or Malibu by the sea

An' I'm just an old cow puncher

I love to listen to his tune

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon

One more

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon

Well the cowboy is a conundrum

A contradiction in this age

Well he says he's doin' fine

On the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage

The whiskey bottle cost 13 bucks

The big prairie moon is free

So who is the dumber son of a b***h

The little coyote or me

Yeh who is the dumber son of a b***h

The little coyote or me take it

So with thoughts of re-incarnation

Well I drifted off to dream

I made it for life with a coyote

Wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen

Way down in the valley

At the old long noose 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

Everybody take it home

All gethering

Coyote's a survivor

I reckon he's got to be

He lives in the snow at

40 below or Malibu by the sea

An' I'm just an old cow puncher

I love to listen to his tune

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon

'Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an'

Coyote gets drunk on the moon
