Lyrics The Raven and the Coyote - Robert Earl Keen
I′ve
been
riding
all
day
long
through
the
wall
of
rain
In
the
shadow
of
the
mountains
on
the
barren
plains
To
my
angel
in
the
village
where
a
lamplight
glows
If
the
dogs
there
don't
betray
me,
no
one
will
know
In
the
city
of
the
soldier,
in
the
time
of
war
There
I
met
my
Angelina,
I
was
24
We
made
arrangements
soon
thereafter
Wedding
plans
were
drawn
just
beyond
the
sound
of
laughter
Cannons
thundered
on
when
I
enlisted
in
the
army,
Angelina
cried
I
whispered
to
her,
"Don′t
you
worry
God
is
on
our
side"
On
the
battlegrounds
before
me
His
plan
was
soon
revealed
He
guided
me
to
fame
and
glory
on
the
battlefield
Ooh
ooh,
the
raven
flies,
ooh
ooh,
the
coyote
cries
Juan
Miguel
Ramos
Montoya
led
his
rebels
well
We
fought
them
through
the
Emerald
Valley
to
the
Sacred
Hill
In
the
end
we
were
defeated,
I
was
left
for
dead
Juan
Montoya
took
our
city,
Angelina
fled
I
took
to
hiding
in
the
mountains
through
the
wintertime
In
the
spring
I
rode
to
safety
across
the
borderline
I
sent
word
to
Angelina,
soon
I
will
return
With
the
full
moon
in
the
window,
let
your
lamplight
burn
From
the
bluff
above
her
village,
my
hope
has
turned
to
fright
Only
darkness
in
the
windows,
not
a
single
light
I
cursed
my
God
and
shook
my
angry
fists
at
Him
above
Twice
forsaken,
once
in
war
and
now
in
love
Ooh
ooh,
the
raven
flies,
ooh
ooh,
the
coyote
cries
I
ran
in
rage
toward
the
chapel,
stricken
by
my
loss
I
vowed
to
leave
my
lifeless
body
upon
His
holy
Cross
But
at
the
altar
of
the
chapel,
a
lonely
candle
shown
Across
the
face
of
Angelina
kneeling
all
alone
Ooh
ooh,
the
raven
flies,
ooh
ooh,
the
coyote
cries
Ooh
ooh,
the
raven
flies,
ooh
ooh,
the
coyote
cries
