Cat Power The Werewolf Song Lyrics

The Werewolf Song Lyrics

( Michael Hurley / Live )

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a steppin` along
He don`t even break the branches
Where he`s been gone

You can hear his long holler from away `cross the moor
That`s the holler of a werewolf when he`s feelin` poor

He goes out in the evenin` when the bats `re on the wing
An` he`s killed some young maiden before the birds sing

For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
`Cause the werewolf he is someone
Just like you an` me

Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin`
All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin`

Cryin` nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths
Cryin` nobody, nobody, knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again

When I see that moon movin` through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feelin` an` I wonder why

Oh the werewolf, Oh the werewolf
Comes travelin` along
He don`t even break the branches
Where he`s been gone

For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an` not hate
`Cause the werewolf might be someone that you`ve known of late

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes travelin` along
He don`t even crush the leaves
Where he`s been gone
