Black Wolf Blues

[Verse 1]

The storms are on the hill

I always think of Jacob

Always seemed to say

The wrong thing at the right time

But now he's long gone and so are my chances of hearing any good news coming through this time

Mary was a sweetheart, Mary got married

To an Illinois farmer, who's name was Paul

They never had much but they always had somethin'

And somethin's always better than nothin' at all

[Chorus]

Black wolf is running out in the trees

Red eyes on fire, hungry and hard

Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?

Keep that old black wolf out of my yard

[Verse 2]

Lived on a dirt road

Never got longer

Now the one I'm on is paved and nеver ends

When I meet a strangеr

There's nothing stranger

Feeling that I'm meeting them all over again

Storm's getting closer

Man outside of town

Says he's from the book of prophecy and light

And the people run to him 'cause they need something holy

But faith and prayers only bait his appetite

[Chorus]

That black wolf's got a taste for your blood now

Red eyes on fire, hungry and hard

Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?

Keep that old black wolf out of my yard

Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?
