COYOTE BLUES
(Lewis Meyer - Johnnie Lee Wills)
JOHNNIE LEE WILLS (BULLET 711, 1950)

I feel so bad, nobody knows
If I look sad, it ain't a pose
I got the old coyote blues
Don't ever treat a woman right
She'll two-time you that very night
And give you the coyote blues
A woman's like baby
You treat her good and fine
But when she thinks she needs a change
She leaves you high and dry
She done me dirt, I'm on the prowl
And does it hurt, oh hear me howl
I got the old coyote blues

I can't sit down, I'm black and blue
My gal kicked me on the kickaroo
I got the old coyote blues
She tore my coat, she ripped my heart
My inside hurts where she hit outside
I got the old coyote blues
She took me when I was helpless
She tried to build me up
But when she got me housebroke
She got another pup
I tried to be her little frog
She treated me like a yellow dog
I got the old coyote blues
