Coyote, why did you take me so far from home?
Coyote, why did you leave me?
I'm all alone

Well, 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

Yeah, the sun pushed him down and the moon pulls him up
He's all alone and he cries like a pup
My mother, my sisters, and I don't know
And 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
Coyote, why did you take me so far from home?
Coyote, why did you leave me?
I'm all alone

Coyote, why did you take me so far from home?
Coyote, why did you leave me?
I'm all alone
Coyote, coyote
Coyote, coyote
