I really love this song and the movie and I love Kris as Billy the Kid ... (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, 1973)
Kris was nominated for the BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards) Award for Best Newcomer for his acting.

This scene with Kris and the Mexican is one of my favorites...

Sorry, Bob, the soundtrack to the movie is one of the greatest ever to me,
but this song always reminds me of Kris' Billy the Kid...

(btw, that stuntman broke his foot by falling off that bucking horse ...)

El Coyote is a song from Kris' album "Repossessed" (1986)
It's on the CD "Kris Kristofferson The Country Collection" (1998) which contains both albums "Repossesed" and "Third World Warrior" (1990)
Both albums are just awesome.

El Coyote

They call him a bandit
And you know the notches
That he ought to wear on his gun
He sees you through eyes
He's partially blinded
From staring to long at the sun

But he's true to his school
And he's nobody's fool
And he's lucky to still be alive
The wolf pack will die
When it's scattered by man
Lonesome coyotes survive.

He burried his feelings
And life was a mountain
That he was determined to climb
Then he caught the scent
Of a sister in spirit
Who taught him to love her in time

Somehow or other
She gathered together
The cubs that he sired on the way
And they run by his side
Through the chill hungry night
And they sleep to his sweet serenade

There's a part of his heart up in Heaven
And a part that will always be wild
And all he can leave them is love and a reason
To run for the rest of their lives
Lonesome coyotes survive.
