[00:26.400]Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas,
[00:31.400]His face was burnt deep by the sun,
[00:35.399]Part history, part sage, part mesquit,
[00:40.999]He was there when Poncho Villa was young.
[00:48.999]And he'd tell you a tale of the old days,
[00:54.999]When the country was wild all around,
[00:58.999]Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way,
[01:04.999]And listen while the coyotes howl.
[01:09.999]And they go... hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[01:14.49]hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[01:18.49]hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[01:25.199]hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[01:31.199]Now the long horns are gone,
[01:33.249]And the drovers are gone,
[01:36.249]The Comanches are gone,
[01:38.249]And the outlaws are gone,
[01:41.199]Geronimo is gone,
[01:43.199]And Sam Bass is gone,
[01:46.199]And the lion is gone,
[01:49.199]And the red wolf is gone.
[01:55.199]Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men,
[02:00.199]And he cursed the automobile,
[02:05.199]Said this is no place for an hombre like I am,
[02:11.200]In this new world of asphalt and steel.
[02:15.200]Then he'd look off some place in the distance,
[02:21.200]At something only he could see,
[02:25.200]He'd say all that's left now of the old days,
[02:32.200]Those damned old coyotes and me.
[02:37.200]And they go hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[02:42.200]hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[02:48.200]hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[02:52.200]hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[02:57.200]Now the long horns are gone,
[03:00.200]And the drovers are gone
[03:02.200]The Comanches are gone
[03:05.200]And the outlaws are gone,
[03:08.200]Now Quantro is gone,
[03:10.200]Stan Watie is gone,
[03:13.200]And lion is gone,
[03:15.200]And the red rolf is gone.
[03:22.200]One morning they searched his adobe,
[03:27.200]He disappeared without even a word,
[03:32.200]But that night as the moon crossed the mountain,
[03:39.200]One more coyote was heard.
[03:47.200]And he'd go, hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[03:52.200]hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[03:57.200]hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[04:02.200]hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
