"Coyote, My Little Brother" lyrics
(originally by Peter La Farge)
Coyot', coyote
What have we done?
Little brother, where
Oh, where do you run?
We strychnined the mountains
We strychnined the plains
My little brother, the coyote
Won't come back again
When you hear him singing
The few that are left
He's warning the human race
Of his death
Don't poison the mesas
Don't poison the skies
Or you won't be back
Little brother, goodbye
There'll be no one to listen
And no one to sing
And never, and never
Will there be spring
Coyot', coyote
What have we done?
What have we done?
Little brother, where
Oh, where do you run?
We strychnined the mountains
We strychnined the plains
My little brother, the coyote
Won't come back again
When you hear him singing
The few that are left
He's warning the human race
Of his death
Don't poison the mesas
Don't poison the skies
Or you won't be back
Little brother, goodbye
There'll be no one to listen
And no one to sing
And never, and never
Will there be spring
Coyot', coyote
What have we done?
