Ian Tyson The Coyote and the Cowboy Lyrics:
[Key: D]

[D]
The coyote is a survivor.
[G E]
Reckon he’s got to be.
[D]
Lives in the snow at forty below
[G A]
Or Malibu By The Sea
[D]
And I’m just an ol’ cow puncher,
[G E]
Love to listen to his tune.
[D A D G]
Cowboy gets high on a bottle of rye,
D A D
Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
[D A D G]

Cowboy gets high on a bottle of rye,
[D A D]
Coyote gets drunk on the moon.

Well, the cowboy is a conundrum,
A contradiction in this age.
He says he’s doin’ fine on the poverty line
On a working cowboy’s wage.
The whiskey bottle costs thirteen bucks,
The big prairie moon is free.
So who’s the dumber son of a bitch:
The little coyote or me?
So who’s the dumber son of a bitch:
The little coyote or me?

So with thoughts of reincarnation
I drifted off to dream.
I mated for life with a coyote wife,
A bushy tailed coyote queen.
Away down in the valley
At the ol’ Longview 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.
