Coyote
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Coyote goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things that coyote's will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Coyote goes to the mountain top
looks over down at the river, says "What a drop"
No tame dog is gonna take my bone
Coyote at the top of the hill
doin' the things coyote's will
You gotta cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Jackal goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things that jackal's will
Staring at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Wild dog up on the mountain top
blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
No tame dog is ever
ever gonna take my bone
Jackal up on the top of the hill
doin' the things that jackal's will
Cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Coyote on top of the hill
ooohhh, doin' the things that coyote's will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
he starts to howl
Coyote up on the mountain top
blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
Says no tame dog is ever
ever gonna take this bone
Coyote up on the mountain top
says "What a drop"
You gotta cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
you gotta cast the first stone
