Werewolf Lyrics

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



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
