L'Olympia, Paris, France
==============================
Coyote goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things that coyotes will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Coyote goes to the mountain top
looks over down at the river, says what a drop
No tame dog is gonna take my born
Coyote at the top of the hill
doin' the things coyotes will
You gotta cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Jackal goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things that jackals will
Staring at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Wild dog up on a mountain top
blood in his jaws, the bone he drops
No tame dog is ever
ever gonna take my bone
Jackal up on the top of the hill
doin' the things that jackals will
Cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Coyote on top of the hill
ooohhh, doin' the things that coyotes will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
he starts to howl
Coyote up on the mountain top
blood in his jaws, the bone he drops
Says no tame dog is ever
ever gonna take this bone
Coyote up on a mountain top
says what a drop
You gotta cast the first stone
cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
you gotta cast the first stone

I've filled some gaps.
I changed "standing" for "staring" and some other words,
take a look.
This time the problem isn't english,
i think this time it's the sound,
it's hard to understand even for an english speaker
because of the sound.
But well, we'll wait for someone to complete it!!
"Coyote"
Coyote goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things the coyote's will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Coyote goes to the mountain top
look through over down the river sets water drop
No tend dogs is gonna take my bone
Coyote at the top of the hill
doin' the things the coyote's will
You gotta kiss the first stone
kiss the first stone
Jackal goes to the top of the hill
doin' the things the jackal's will
Staring at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Wild dog cope on mountain the top
............ drops
No tend dogs is ever
ever gonna take my bone
Jackal loves on the top of the hill
doin' the things the jackal's will
kiss the first stone
kiss the first stone
Coyote on the top of the hill
ooohhh, doin' the thing the coyote's will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
you know he starts to howl
Coyote up on the mountain top

Coyote up on the mountain top
... water drops
You gotta kiss the first stone

Coyote goes to the top of the hill
Doin' the things the coyote's will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
You know he starts to howl
Coyote goes to the mountain top
Looks over down at the river, says "What a drop"
No tend dogs is
Gonna take my bone
Coyote at the top of the hill
Doin' the things coyote's will
You gotta kiss the first stone
Kiss the first stone
Jackal goes to the top of the hill
Doin' the things that jackal's will
Staring at the moon
You know he starts to howl
Wild dog up on a mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
No tend dogs is ever
Ever gonna take my bone
Jackal up on the top of the hill
Doin' the things that jackal's will
Kiss the first stone
Kiss the first stone
Coyote on top of the hill
Oooh, doin' the things that coyote's will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
He starts to howl
Coyote up on the mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
Says no tend dogs is ever
Ever gonna take this bone
Coyote up on the mountain top
Says "What a drop"
You gotta kiss the first stone
Kiss the first stone
Kiss the first stone
You gotta kiss the first stone

I thought the lyric was:
You gotta cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes you can use my post on your web site.
I'm sure this is the correct lyric.
It is from the biblical story of Jesus
who told a mob that is about to stone a woman to death.
Jesus told the mob that
"he who is without sin to cast the first stone".
It is kind of appropriate with the current political events
being in the current shape.
Peace,
Jim Hoover

I'm pretty sure that the line is "no tame dog" not "no tend dog".
Not only does it sound that way (to me anyways),
it also makes more sense.
