Cherokee Girl - The Beau Brummels

Coyote hunts his frightened meal

The moon splits on the broken wheel

She don’t know about the way she feels

Cherokee girl

Coyote hunts on winter ground

He tries to track a shadow down

She pulls her shawl a-tight around

Cherokee girl

Coyote now across the ridge

Coyote stalks around the hedge

She can hardly get from there

Cherokee girl

Cry over the coyote falling

Just right through the wind

Cry over the coyote calling

Tinkle in her skin

Man… she shivers

Man… she listens

Coyote getting near the fence

One week ago and ever since

She pulls the shade, don’t take no chance

Cherokee girl

Coyote sneaking 'round the porch

Is scratching on the kitchen door

She knows she’ll see him more and more

Cherokee girl

Cry of the coyote calling so cold outside

Cry of the coyote falling

She wants to stay inside

By the window

By the window, ooh…

Coyote calls so pleasingly

The moon shines down so lazily

She takes out that front door key
