Hey Coyote Lyrics

(Native American man speaking)
"I haven't been able to be there to hear them, like I used to go dance all the time, you know, all the time I was listening to them you could, you know what they're saying because you're right there and all the times that you go and you're around that drum, that drum talks to you, it tells you things but I haven't been around it for a while, so, that's what bothers me at times, you know, because I feel like I'm losing, it's all going away..."

Wild Canids, dogs, bound in North America
Their name comes from the Aztec word for the species "coyotl"
The scientific name "Canis Latrans" means: "barking Dog"

Hey coyote, you know something I don't
Hey coyote, you know something I don't
Hey coyote, you know something I don't
Hey coyote, you know something I don't

Humans are the coyotes chief enemy
It has been estimated that 30 or 50% that all adult coyotes die each year from human related causes
The coyotes reproduction level appears to be directly correlated to attempt to control its population

Hey coyote, you know something I don't
Hey coyote, you know something I don't

Larger litters seem to be born in areas where intensive efforts of extermination of control have been undertaken
If coyotes in a certain area are killed, die, or are relocated, the remaining coyotes will fill the vacancy with larger litters or by allowing outsiders to move into the area
The species has survived hunting, trapping, shooting, poisoning and other attempts of eradication and remains as strongly in the ecological cycle

Hey coyote, you know something I don't
Hey coyote, you know something I don't

Hey coyote (you know something i don't)
Coyotes love insects, and have saved many a farm from massive insect invasions

Hey coyote (you know something i don't)
Coyotes help keep the balance of nature in order

Hey coyote (you know something i don't)
Coyotes can run up to 45 miles per hour and they swim well

Hey coyote (you know something i don't)
They are active both day and night
