The Wolf
1. The Delta blues was his badge of shame (in rhythm
and power)
A fount of power brought him fame (in rhythm and
power)
Singin' to the ears of the world
from the Deep South to Chicago
Field-hollerin pickin' cotton grew (in rhythm and
power)
the blues commander they all knew (in rhythm and power)
Hard-driving running from the law
and lonesome times in Arkansas
[CHORUS]
Hyp-no-tizer -- let it loose!
At the pleasure palaces
Howlin' in the cotton fields
Howlin' Memphis, Tennessee
Howlin' in Chicago, too
Singin' out to be set free
2. Mourning words - straight from his past (in rhythm
and power)
sang freedom and the truth at last (in rhythm and
power)
Honest, lurching power cries
intensity - the hollerin' rise
His message heard from near and far (in rhythm and
power)
He blew his harp, played his guitar (in rhythm and
power)
teasing, bending, ragged romp
boogied-down shuffles and the stomp
Hyp-no-tizer -- let it loose! yeah--
[BRIDGE]
Burstin' out the radio
and the record machines
The hoodoo never lose
Paid the devil all his dues
to live and sing the blues [rep]
[CHORUS/SCAT]
a-woo-hoo---
Can’t you hear him cryin’
a-woo-hoo---
Can’t you see him flyin’
Down Highway 49 at night
The Howlin' man was such a sight
a-woo-hoo--- [Can't you hear him cryin'] [rep]
