Even Coyote Sings The Blues Give me a taste, of your sweet sweet love Slap me in my face, don’t we fit like a glove I’ve no tricks for you, give me just one night And if we ain’t true, I’ll leave without a fight Well come on now, chase away my blues Let me rest these old, walking shoes Grant me some time, show you what I mean You can check me close, nothing up my sleeve Chorus: Don’t leave me here I always find myself alone If you listened in the dark and thought you mighta heard me moan I was howling at the moon and calling to them stars above Crying out the blues, and calling babe, for some love I’m a coyote so, you should know right now Born a trickster babe, both free and wild And I’m asking you, can you tell me true Are you a trickster babe, can you cure the coyote blues Chorus: Because I can leave you here if what you like is being alone I listened in the dark, and thought I might’ve heard you moan Were you howling at the moon and calling to them stars above Were you crying the blues and calling for some love I’m a trickster babe…
5.	Fairview Park 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Fairview Park Skies were gray and the rain came down made my way across the dirty old town home to Fairview park and you You let a little room at the top of a stairs I liked to come and linger there you always had a fine word for me And I remember every word you ever said And I remember all the nights rain a comin down Lord willing and the creek don’t rise I’ll be there right by your side You were doe eyed in the big wide world I was jaded with a heart grown cold but we found each other in the moments that we stole We’d lock into Gaffney’s at half ten Drink and talk like long lost friends Stumble home together, Sun coming up I remember every word we ever said I remember all them nights rain a comin down Lord wiling and the creek don’t rise I’ll be there right by your side Times were good, but not meant to be We were honest fools we couldn’t see The coming edge, only the clear blue sky memories are a funny thing can haunt you or feel like coming spring When I turned the page I lost my place with you but I remember the last words that I said and I remember all the nights rain a comin down Lord willing and the creek don’t rise I’ll be there right by your side (x2)
6.	Red Bird Calling 04:49	lyrics	buy track
RED BIRD CALLING There’s a red bird calling, singing her song for me There’s a red bird calling, her song won’t let me be Found myself in the valley, carrying me a heavy load Saw a light shining down, from on high to down below Heard a red bird calling, singing her song for me Was a red bird calling, her song won’t give me peace So I’m going up on the mountain, see what I can see Gonna lay my burden down, and I will be set free There’s a red bird calling, singing her song for me There’s red bird calling, her song won’t let me be Well the bluebird crossed my path And the blackbird cries in the dying of the day the white bird gonna carry me home But the red bird calls my name Hear the red bird calling, singing her song for me There’s a red bird calling, her song gonna set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free Red bird calling, gonna set me free, red bird calling
7.	I Am The Poison 03:25	lyrics	buy track
I Am The Poison I am the poison You drink before dawn You are the person to whom I belong Be my saving grace I’ll be your hiding place I remember you whispering to me ‘neath the silver moon the secrets you keep In your night eyes there was, No disguise Bridge: Maybe we aren’t meant to be No matter how I feel A million miles between us now And still, You’re all that’s real Now there is a place between sleep and awake Where you remember dreams And that’s where I’ll wait And I will be true and forever will love you
8.	Bill Frazier 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Bill Frazier I first saw Bill Frazier staring up at the moon With a tear in his eyes, singing a mournful tune I said hey Bill, where are you bound, Lets go to the bar, I will buy you a round. I saw Bill Frazier standing alone Without a dollar, without a home I said hey Bill, what can I do Buy us a bottle, have a drink or two CH: Bill Frazier, Bill Frazier, got the face of a baby Got the heart of a child, and some say maybe You’ll find all the things that you’ve been looking for Like a bottle in a brown bag, full ever more I last saw old Bill, before he left town I said friend can I buy your last round I bought one, bought two, then I bought three There at the bar, Bill Frazier and me CH: Bill Frazier, Bill Frazier, got the face of a baby Got the heart of a child, and someday maybe You’ll find all the things that you’ve been looking for Like a bottle in a brown bag, for ever more

10.	7 Come 11 03:23	lyrics	buy track
7 Come 11 7 come 11 we cashed in All we’d won blown to the wind I remember those days long ago I remember those nights, we laid low sneaking in the back door late at night. never got caught played it right Against the walls of St. Stephens we rolled the dice. Praying them bones would turn up right BREAK Now every single night you haunt my dreams till nothing in this life is like it seems I wonder now if you remember me I miss you like salt would miss the sea BREAK I wanna go back to the good old days Roll my way into a brand new game Dealer deal me in another hand Bring back those times if you can Cuz life is a gamble you take your chance Put your money down, place your bets Win some baby lose some they say but you lay it on the line see if it pays 7 come 11 and we cashed in

Ten from town CHORUS: I love my baby, I love her like water She never puts out my fire well come on darling give me a dollar I’ll bring you back, ten from town I am a roving gambler I gambled all around where ever I did gamble My good gal could be found she told me straight and she told me true Win some goddamn money boy or I’m through with you I am a gambling man that’s what I am I gambled all over this great big land, I got a good woman Lord she keeps me clean if I don’t win money, she gets mighty mean CHORUS She told me I was special that I was unique I was a challenge Eight days a week here is a dollar boy, head to town, If you don’t win ten don’t come back around CHORUS
