Intro:  D   A   Gx2
There was a Dcowboy I Aknew in south TGexas
His Dface was burnt dAeep by the sGun
Part Dhistory, part sAage, part MeGxican
He was tDhere when Poncho AVilla was yGoung 
And he'd tDell us a tAale of the oGld days 
When the Dcountry was Awild all aGround 
Sit out uDnder the stAars of the mGilky way 
And Dlisten to the Acoyotes hGowl 
DHooo yip  AHooo Yip GHoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo Ghoo
HDooo yip  HAooo Yip HGoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo GhooA  
Now the lBmong horns are gone 
And the dDrovers are gone
The CoGmanche's are gone 
And the oAutlaws are gone
GerBmonimo's gone 
And SDam Bass is gone 
And the Glion is gone 
And the Ared wolf is gone....
Well he cDursed all the rAoads and the oGil men 
And he Dcursed the aAutomoGbile 
He'd say "This is Dno place for an hAombre like GI am, 
in this Dnew world of Aasphalt and Gsteel." 
Then he'd lDook off someAwhere in the Gdistance 
At Dsomething only Ahe could Gsee
He'd say "The Donly thing lAeft of the Gold days
are these dDanged old cAoyotes and Gme." 
DHooo yip  AHooo Yip GHoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo Ghoo
HDooo yip  HAooo Yip HGoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo GhooA  
Now the Bmlong horns are gone 
And the Ddrovers are gone 
The CoGmanche's are gone 
And the oAutlaws are gone 
Now BmQuatro is gone 
Stan DWanche is gone 
And the Glion is gone 
And the rAed wolf is gone 
One mDorning they sAearched his aGdobe 
He disapDpeared without Aeven a Gword 
But that Dnight as the Amoon crossed the Gmountain 
DOne more old Acoyote was Gheard 
DHooo yip  AHooo Yip GHoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo Ghoo
HDooo yip  HAooo Yip HGoo
HoodDloo yip hoo Ahoo yip hoo Ghoo

D A G

Intro: x2

D A G

There was a cowboy I knew in south Texas

D A G

His face was burnt deep by the sun

D A G

Part history, part sage, part Mexican

D A G

He was there when Poncho Villa was young

D A G

And he'd tell us a tale of the old days

D A G

When the country was wild all around

D A G

Sit out under the stars of the milky way

D A G

And listen to the coyotes howl

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G A

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo

Now the long horns are gone

And the drovers are gone

The Comanche's are gone

And the outlaws are gone

Geronimo's gone

And Sam Bass is gone

And the lion is gone

And the red wolf is gone....

D A G

Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men

D A G

And he cursed the automobile

D A G

He'd say "This is no place for an hombre like I am,

D A G

in this new world of asphalt and steel."

D A G

Then he'd look off somewhere in the distance

D A G

At something only he could see

D A G

He'd say "The only thing left of the old days

D A G

are these danged old coyotes and me."

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G A

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo

Now the long horns are gone

And the drovers are gone

The Comanche's are gone

And the outlaws are gone

Now Quatro is gone

Stan Wanche is gone

And the lion is gone

And the red wolf is gone

D A G

One morning they searched his adobe

D A G

He disappeared without even a word

D A G

But that night as the moon crossed the mountain

D A G

One more old coyote was heard

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo

D A G

Hooo yip Hooo Yip Hoo

D A G

Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
