Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf

Comes a steppin' along

He don't even break the branches

Where he's been gone



You can hear his long holler from away 'cross the moor

That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feelin' poor



He goes out in the evenin' when the bats 're on the wing

An' he's 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 don't even break the branches

Where he's been gone



For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an' not hate

'cause the werewolf might be someone that you've known of late



Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf

Comes travelin' along

He don't even crush the leaves

Where he's been gone
