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
