Howling Wolf, Pt. 1.

Howling Wolf Blues - Funny Paper Smith

Well here I am

Got the blues about little old Victoria

The Howlin' Wolf

Guess I'll drop a few lines

I'm that wolf that everybody been tryin'

To find out where in the world I prowl

I'm that wolf that everybody been tryin'

To find out where in the world I prowl

Nobody ever gets a chance to see me

But they all hear me when I howl

Now I howl to my baby

With her mother standing by her side

Now I howl to my baby

With her mother standing by her side

And that's the reason I'm howlin'

I'm tryin' to be satisfied

I even prowled for you baby

When you was down

And couldn't stand up on your feet

I even prowled for you baby

When you was down

And couldn't stand up on your feet

Now you walk by the Lone Wolf

And act like you don't want to speak

What made you quit me

I love you and I did three years ago

What made you quit me baby

I love you and I did three years ago

Take me back and I'll quit prowlin'

And I won't ever howl no more

Ah preacher told me

That God would give a black man most anything

He do

Preacher told me

That God would give a black man most anything

He do

I ain't black but I'm dark complexioned

Look like He ought to forgive me too

Seems like God don't treat me like

I'm a human kind

Seems like God don't treat me like

I'm a human kind

Seems like he wants me to be a prowler

And a Howlin' Wolf all the time
