They call me the howlin' wolf now, and you found me howlin' at your door
They call me the howlin' wolf now, baby, and you know you found me howlin' at your door
You know I love you darling, don't drive the wolf from your door
(Lord have mercy, darling)

If God forgive me, I won't let you make me howl no more
If God forgive me, I won't let you make me howl no more
You want me to do like a wolf baby, drag my tracks out in the cold

Now Christmas eve is coming, and you want me down on my bended knees
Now Christmas eve is coming darling, and you want the wolf on his bended knees
You made me get your shoe, darling you wanna drive poor me
