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
