Cherokee Girl

[Instrumental Intro]

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
Cherokee girl
