One Little Coyote

**One Little Coyote** is a Riders in the Sky song from their Harmony Ranch album. The Wigglessing this song on the It's a Wiggly Wiggly World! video and album. This song lasts 5 minutes, and as such, it is one of the longest songs The Wiggles have ever recorded, due to the gradually increasing length of its verses.

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We stopped and heard a sweet and sad refrain

It filled the sundown skies with a lonesome tune

It was one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We stopped and heard a sweet and sad refrain

Two wise old night owls calling 'Come home soon'

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard three big elk bugling through the trees

Two wise old night owls calling 'Come home soon'

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard four moo cows lowing in the breeze

Three big elk bugling through the trees

Two wise old night owls calling 'Come home soon'

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard five prairie dogs whistling at a snake

Four moo cows

Three big elk

Two wise owls

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard six beavers slapping tails upon a lake

Five prairie dogs

Four moo cows

Three big elk

Two wise owls

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard seven geese honking 'cross the sky

Six beavers slap

Five prairie dogs

Four moo cows

Three big elk

Two wise owls

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard eight mustang, whinnying wild and high

Seven geese

Six beavers slap

Five prairie dogs

Four moo cows

Three big elk

Two wise owls

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard nine buffalo stampede and run away

Eight mustang

Seven geese

Six beavers slap

Five prairie dogs

Four moo cows

Three big elk

Two wise owls

And one little coyote howling at the moon

As I rode my pony across the western plain

We heard ten cowboys singing loud, ‘cause it's payday

Nine buffalo stampede and run away

Eight mustang, whinnying wild and high

Seven geese honking ‘cross the sky

Six beavers slapping tails upon a lake

Five prairie dogs whistling at a snake

Four moo cows lowing in the breeze

Three big elk bugling through the trees

Two wise old night owls calling 'Come home soon'

And that one little coyote howling at the moon

* The DVD and CD versions differ the backing vocals and animal sounds by Human Natureand The Wiggles and also the DVD version omits the banjo which was heard in the CD version.
	+ The album version with Human Nature is in stereo, and the video version is in mono.
* It's possible that one of the reasons why The Wiggles decided to record their version of this song is because the original version came out the same year they began, 1991
* The verse "Four Little Doggies" was changed to "Four Moo Cows" since some children don't know that a doggie is a motherless cow.
* In the tenth and last verse, after Greg passes by each of the previous nine groups, the camera is zoomed in on one individual per group.
* The previous groups that Greg passes by is similar to 12 Days Of Christmas.
