Theres a cowboy I knew in south Texas His face was burnt deep by the sun Part history, part sage, part Mexican He was there when Pancho Villa was young
And he'd tell you a tail of the old days When the country was wild all around He'd sit out under the stars of the Milky Way And he’d listen as the coyotes howled and they go..
Poo yip poo yip poo Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo Poo yip poo yip poo Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Now the Longhorns are gone and the drovers are gone The Comanche are gone and the out laws are gone Geronimos gone and Sam Bass is gone And the lion is gone and the red wolf is gone

Well he cursed all the roads and the oil rigs And he cursed the automobile Said "this aint no place for an hombre like I am In this new world of asphault and steel"
Then He'd look off some place in the distance At somethin only he could see He’d say "all thats left now of the old days Are them damned ol' coyotes and me" and they go
Poo yip poo yip poo Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo Poo yip poo yip poo Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo
And the Longhorns are gone and the drovers are gone The Comanches are gone and the outlaw is gone San Juati is gone, Quatro is gone And the buffalo gone and the red wolf is gone
One mornin we 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
