Coyote Railway

 

Song: Coyote Railway

Coyote railway
Follow the tracks
Go out at sunset
Sunrise come back
Ow - ooo - ooo - eee

Coyote comedy
When you don't see
A big wet nose on
The back of your knee
Yip yip yip yip ow - ooo - ooo - eee

Coyote toothpick
Mouse tail in teeth
Pups on the hillside
Playin’ games hide and seek
Ow - ooo - ooo - eee

Coyote freight train
Rabbits in line
One day you're starvin’
Next day you're fine
Yip yip yip yip ow - ooo - ooo - eee

Coyote romance
Will you go with me?
We got no money
But we can live free
Ow - ooo - ooo -  ooo - ooo -  ooo - ooo - eee

…..

Lyrics by Joe Cottonwood, music by Will Fourt
