The Werewolf Song Lyrics
Cat Power
( michael hurley / live )
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a steppin along
He dont even break the branches
Where hes been gone
You can hear his long holler from away cross the moor
Thats the holler of a werewolf when hes feelin poor
He goes out in the evenin when the bats re on the wing
An hes killed some young maiden before the birds sing
For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
cause the werewolf he is someone
Just like you an me
Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin
All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin
Cryin nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths
Cryin nobody, nobody, knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again
When I see that moon movin through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feelin an I wonder why
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes travelin along
He dont even break the branches
Where hes been gone
For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an not hate
cause the werewolf might be someone that youve known of late
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes travelin along
He dont even crush the leaves
Where hes been gone
