In the town of [G] Reynosa [C] there's a beautiful [F] river,
[C] Shined in [G] the Mexican
[C] sun.
There are boats [G] and they cross from one side to [F] the other,
[C] At dusk [G] when the hot day is [G] done.
[C] From there [G] to Acuna, [C] to Del Rio, [F] Texas,
[C]
Uvalli [G] up through San Antone.
[C] With the pesos [G] you saved [C] up for years,
And you'll [F] trade for the chance [G] to send dollars [C] back home.

Coyote, [G] Coyote, que [C] se te caron,
[G]
Coyote, man, what have [C] you done?
[F] You took all our money [C] and left us to die,
[G] In the heat of the South Texas sun.
Coyote, que se te [C] caron,
[G] He [C] steps out [G] of the shadows,
He [C] won't look in your eyes,
His hands out [G] to take all [C] you've got.
And he swears [G] that he's smuggled a thousand good men,
[C] And he swears that [G] he's never been [C] caught.
So seventeen [G] other [Cm]
braceros [F] like cattle,
[G] Packed in for that long final [C]
ride.
And the semi [G]-truck crossing [C] the border,
[F] It's dark [G] and it's hot as an oven [C] inside.
[Am]
Coyote, [D] Coyote, [C] que se te caron,

The braceros [G] are asking in whispers,
[Am] Why the truck stopped [G] in the heat [C] of the day.

[G] And he's walking [C] away.
