Coyote Lyrics - Singles - Rank And File

"Coyote, why did you take me so far from home? 

Coyote, why did you leave me? I'm all alone." 

They asked the rancher's son what happened to the lad. 

"Oh, I don't know, but we didn't do nothing bad. 

Now what's all the fuss? They ain't like us. 

They don't matter anyway." 

We took their hands and we bound them up with wire. 

When the sun went down, they felt the fire. 

"Coyote, why did you take me so far from home? 

Coyote, why did you leave me? I'm all alone." 

The sun pushes him down, the moon pulls him up. 

He's all alone and he cries like a pup, 

"My mother, my sisters, and I don't know 

as the cold wind blows, 

I want to go home but I'm too far north," 

and the cry comes forth, "Hiyo, hiyo, 

Coyote, why did you take me so far from home? 

Coyote, why did you leave me? I'm all alone."
