The Coyote And The Cowboy

Ian Tyson

Intro Verse 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) Verse 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 bitch? The little coyote or me? Yeh, who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me? (take it) Solo Verse 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 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.
