You come back here upon a day
A day so warm and fine
A big wide grin was on your face
You said that it was time
You said that it was time to dance
You said it's time to play
But while I's lost within your song
You stole my wife away

Coyote Hey! Coyote Hey!
Bit while I's lost within your song
You stole my wife away

I lay me down beside a stream
To rest the weary day
And when I woke I found
My blues had gone away
You stole my hat, stole my tie
Stole my coat and shoes
I stood there on my dying day
With nothing left to lose

Coyote Hey! Coyote Hey!
I stood there on my dying day
With nothing left to lose

When God gave out the gifts
To all the creatures that he made
He told this lonesome dog to go
Where all the tunes are played
I hear him sing from in the wood
Coming through the night time blue
So keep you way from my back door
You'll take my daughters too

Coyote Hey! Coyote Hey!
So keep you way from my back door
You'll take my daughters too.
