Howling Wolf Blues (02-25-48) - Lighnin' Hopkins, Hopkins

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)
