The most well known version of the tune among string band fans is by Uncle Norman Edmonds of Galax, Virginia recorded in 1927. It has recently been re-issued (yet again) but this time at the correct playing speed.
There are other versions but which years are you speaking of ?

Can't be of help re Roving Wolves I'm afraid, nearest I can get is "Wolves a Howling" but this is mainly a fiddle tune. It has been recently released however with words by Bruce Molsky on the Rounder label I believe and the CD title is "Wolves a Howling".

Good hunting, good listening
