Lightnin' Hopkins - The Howling Wolf Lyrics

Sound like I hear that wolf howling
Yeah, he howled

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 late at night
But they can hear me when I howl

Howl, wolf, I said howl
Now, you're howling

I take time when I'm prowling
Wipe my tracks out with my tail
Lot of people wonder why
I do it but I'm gonna tell you

I take time when I come prowling
Wipe my tracks out with my tail
That's in order, 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, 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
