In the town of Reynosa
There's a beautiful river
That shines in the Mexican sun
There are boats and they cross
From one side to the other
At dusk when the hot day is done
It's from there to Acuña
To Del Rio Texas
Uvalde up through San Antone
With the pesos I've saved up for years
I'll trade for a chance
To send dollars back home
Coyote, Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
Coyote, man what have you done?
You took all our money
And left us to die
In the heat of the South Texas sun
Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
He steps out of the shadows
He won't look in my eyes
His hand's out to take all I've got
He says that he's smuggled a thousand good men
And says that he's never been caught
So with seventeen other braceros like cattle
Packed in for that long final ride
In a semi-truck crossing the border it's dark
And it's hot as an oven inside
Coyote, Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
Coyote, man what have you done?
You took all our money
And left us to die
In the heat of the South Texas sun
Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
The braceros are asking in whispers
Why the truck stopped in the heat of the day
At first sign of trouble
He's left us all there by the road and he's walking away
Coyote, Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
Coyote, man what have you done?
You took all our money
And left us to die
In the heat of the South Texas sun
Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
