Lightnin Hopkins The Howling Wolf Lyrics

The Howling Wolf Lyrics

(Sound like I hear that wolf howlin'...)



Yeah I'm the wolf and
everybody in the world,

Trying to find out who I prowl

I'm the wolf
and everybody in the world,

They're trying to find out who I hound

Well you know they can't see me at night,

But they can hear me when I
howl



(Howl, wolf... I said howl... Now you're howlin'!...)



I take time when I'm prowlin',

Wipe my tracks out with my
tail

(A lot of people wonder why I do this but I wanna tell you)

I
take time when I come prowlin',



Wipe my tracks out with my tail

That's in order that no one discover,

Whoa Lord he can't cross my
trail



I'm that wolf, dig a hole,

Stick my nose down in the
ground (hound)

I'm that wolf, dig a hole,

Stick my nose deep down
in the ground

Yeah you know I'll be hiding right at you baby,

You'll think I'm way out on the outskirts of town



(That's that
wolf)
