Howlin' Like A Wolf Lyrics

Listen you can hear him from the holler below

By the black creek water where the bluegrass grows

A long grey beard and an old straw hat

Creature of the night in the woods way back

Picking on the guitar he be singin the blues

Barefoot boogie like the old man do

He likes the pretty ladies and the peach moonshine

And howling at the moon till the sun does shine

Howlin' like a wolf

He be howlin' like a wolf

In the hill side shack by the black creek water

Old man down in the holler…he holla

My papa last seen him back in seventy nine

Buying cheap tobacco at the five and dime

Back to the woods…away he went

Howling at the moon til his dying breath

Gone with the wind he done slipped away

But in the dead of night the town folk they say

You can still hear him howl when the moon is high

Oh, I think he's out there howling tonight

(legend of the old man never gonna die)

Howlin' like a wolf

He be howlin' like a wolf

In the hill side shack by the black creek water

Old man down in the holler…he holla

My papa last seen him back in seventy nine

Buying cheap tobacco at the five and dime

Back to the woods…away he went

Howling at the moon til his dying breath

Gone with the wind he done slipped away

But in the dead of night the town folk they say

You can still hear him howl when the moon is high

The legend of the old man never gonna die

Howlin' like a wolf

He be howlin' like a wolf

In the hill side shack by the black creek water

Old man down in the holler…he holla

Howlin' like a wolf

He be howlin' like a wolf

In the hill side shack by the black creek water

Old man down in the holler…he howl
