Werewolf Lyrics - Absolutely Right: The Best Of Five Man Electrical Band - Five Man Electrical Band

Mama said 

"There's something weird 'bout Billy 

I looked in his room, his bed 

Wasn't slept in at all last night" 

But Papa said, "Ah, now Mama 

Don't you go talking silly 

He's just a young boy 

He's just sowing his wild oats 

And that's all right" 

But Mama said, "no 

There's something real strange 'bout my Billy 

The farmer down the road said 

He lost a few of his sheep last night" 

"I know he's my own flesh and blood 

But he makes my blood run chilly 

'Cause I saw him from my window 

And he was on the heel 

Just screaming at the moonlight" 

Is it any wonder we hate to see 

The sun go down 

And is it any wonder we hate to see 

The full moon coming around 

So Papa said 

"I guess there's only one thing to do 'bout Billy 

Hand me down my gun, Son 

Bring along that silver dinner bell" 

But Mama said, "Papa 

I beg you, don't kill him 

'Cause I just couldn't bear 

To think about my baby in hell" 

But he went down to the blacksmith 

Got him out of bed and said, "Get your fire hot 

Oh, shut up your shutters and close down the doors 

We're gonna need all the heat you got" 

"'Cause I want you to melt my 

Silver bell down to a single shot 

I got a job to do and I got to get it done 

Before the sun comes up" 

Oh, so is it any wonder that we hate to see 

The sun go down 

Then we heard a shot 

And I said, "Papa got 'em 

Then we heard a scream 

And Mama smiled and said 

"Betcha Billy got 'em" 

But when I lifted up my eyes 

There was Papa in the doorway staring at the floor 

And my big brother Billy never did 

Come home no more 

So is it any wonder we hate to see 

The sun go down 

And is it any wonder we hate to see 

The full moon coming around
