    The song tells the story of a cowboy in South Texas who shares stories with the narrator about the "old days" of the Wild West under the stars. It describes how things have changed with the disappearance of longhorns, Native American tribes, and outlaws. In the end, the cowboy mysteriously disappears one morning, but his spirit is heard howling like a coyote that night.

    [Verse 1]

    D A G
    Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas
    D A G
    His face was burnt deep by the sun
    D A G
    Part history, part sage, part mesquite
    D A G
    He was there when Pancho Villa was young

    [Verse 2]
    D A G
    And he'd tell you a tale of the old days
    D A G
    When the country was wild all around
    D A G
    Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way
    D A G
    And listen while the coyotes howled, they go:

    [Chorus]
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo

    [Bridge]
    Bm G
    Now the Longhorns are gone, and the drovers are gone
    Em A
    The Comanches are gone, and the outlaws are gone
    Em D
    Geronimo is gone, and Sam Bass is gone
    G A
    And the Lion is gone, and the Red Wolf is gone

    [Verse 3]
    D A G
    Well, he cursed all the roads and the oil men
    D A G
    And he cursed the automobile
    D A G
    Said: "this is no place for an hombre like I am
    D A G
    In this new world of asphalt and steel"

    [Verse 4]
    D A G
    Then he'd look off some place in the distance
    D A G
    At something only he could see
    D A G
    He'd say: "All that's left now of the old days
    D A G
    Damned old coyotes and me", and they go:

    [Chorus]
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo

    [Bridge]
    Bm G
    Now the Longhorns are gone, and the drovers are gone
    Em A
    The Comanches are gone, the outlaws are gone
    Em D
    Now Quantro is gone, Stand Watie is gone
    G A
    And the Lion is gone, and the Red Wolf is gone

    [Verse 5]
    D A G
    One morning they searched his adobe
    D A G
    He disappeared without even a word
    D A G
    But that night as the moon crossed the mountains
    D A G
    One more coyote was heard, and he'd go:

    [Chorus]
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo

    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo
    D A G
    Poo yip poo yip poo
    D A G
    Poodi loo yip poo hoo yip poo hoo
