Funny Paper Smith Howling Wolf Blues Lyrics

I am the wolf that everybody been trying 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

Know I howl to my baby : with her mother standing by her
side
And that's the reason I'm howling : I'm a‑trying to be
satisfied

I even howled 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 see
What made you quit me : I love you as I did three years
ago
Take me back and I'll quit prowling : and I won't ever
howl no more

Now the preacher told me that God will forgive a black
man : most anything he do
I ain't black but I'm dark‑complexioned : look like He
ought to forgive me too

[Look, seem] like God don't treat me : like I'm a human
kind
Seem like he wants me to be a prowler : and a howling
wolf all the time
