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
