[00:21.000] Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas,
[00:26.000] His face was burnt deep by the sun,
[00:30.000] Part history, part sage, part mesquit,
[00:35.000] He was there when Poncho Villa was young.
[00:43.000] And he'd tell you a tale of the old days,
[00:49.000] When the country was wild all around,
[00:53.300] Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way,
[00:59.300] And listen while the coyotes howl.
[01:04.300] And they go... hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[01:08.350] hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[01:12.350] hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[01:18.300] hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[01:24.300] Now the long horns are gone,
[01:26.350] And the drovers are gone,
[01:29.350] The Comanches are gone,
[01:31.350] And the outlaws are gone,
[01:34.300] Geronimo is gone,
[01:36.300] And Sam Bass is gone,
[01:39.300] And the lion is gone,
[01:42.300] And the red wolf is gone.
[01:48.300] Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men,
[01:53.300] And he cursed the automobile,
[01:58.300] Said this is no place for an hombre like I am,
[02:04.300] In this new world of asphalt and steel.
[02:08.300] Then he'd look off some place in the distance,
[02:14.300] At something only he could see,
[02:18.300] He'd say all that's left now of the old days,
[02:25.300] Those damned old coyotes and me.
[02:30.300] And they go hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[02:35.300] hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[02:41.300] hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[02:45.300] hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[02:50.900] Now the long horns are gone,
[02:54.200] And the drovers are gone
[02:56.200] The Comanches are gone
[02:59.200] And the outlaws are gone,
[03:02.200] Now Quantro is gone,
[03:04.200] Stan Watie is gone,
[03:07.200] And lion is gone,
[03:09.200] And the red rolf is gone.
[03:16.200] One morning they searched his adobe,
[03:21.200] He disappeared without even a word,
[03:26.500] But that night as the moon crossed the mountain,
[03:33.500] One more coyote was heard.
[03:41.500] And he'd go, hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[03:46.500] hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[03:51.500] hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[03:56.500] hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[04:01.500] hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[04:06.500] hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
[04:11.500] hoo yip hoo yip hoo
[04:16.500] hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
