I heard you found coyote bones again Take me to his resting place, my friend We'll throw a funeral for him And for all his animal friends His friends said he was murdered for his pelt By a man in a mustache from the South He had a cigarette in his hand With his back turned to the hurricane's winds And the coyote's family said
He was a hunter and a gatherer and a father and a friend And a good one at that And the leader of the pack Said that this coyote will never come back But may he rest in peace From this desert heat And the coyote was somewhere else Looking down on this desert town He let out his howl . .
