         D        A             G
Theres 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 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..


Chorus 1:
D       A       G
Poo yip poo yip poo
D                A          G
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo
D       A       G
Poo yip poo yip poo
D             A              G
Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo
        Bm                         G
Now the Longhorns are gone and the drovers are gone
    Em                        A
The Comanche are gone and the out laws are gone
Em                 D/F#  
Geronimos gone and Sam Bass is gone 
        G                    A 
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

Chorus 2:
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


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
Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo
Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo
