Howling Wolf Blues (02-25-48)

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)
