Lyrics
[Ian Tyson, Spoken] Now, I'm gonna teach you folks a brand new song I wrote. And I want ya all to join in with me and sing because this is about one of my favorite, all time people. And that's the Coyote. The story goes like this: [Ian Tyson, Sung] 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) [All Together] 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. (yee-hoo!) [Ian Tyson] 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) So with thoughts of re-incarnation, well I drifted off to dream I made it for life with a coyote wife, 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 together!) [All Together] 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
