You know I'm a howlin' wolf, and I been howlin' all around your door
Well you know I'm a howlin' wolf, and I been howlin' all around your door
If you give me what I want little girl, and you won't hear me howl no more

You know when I get-ta howlin', I dig me a hole down in the ground
Well when I get-ta howlin', I dig me a hole down in the ground
Some people call me a black panther, but my baby, she knows the way I sound

I'll howl so long, ya know it make my time go slow
I'll howl so long, if you give me what I want little girl
And you won't hear me howl no more

Well when I get-ta howlin', they call me "too bad Jim"
Yeah when I get-ta howlin', ya know they call me "too bad Jim"
You know I get so bad sometime
I get real bad and I be jumpin' from limb to limb!
