Hi, oombanjo - there's a recording of the song on the Anne Hills - Cindy Mangsen CD called Never Grow Old. They sing with different performers on each cut - this one is with John Hartford, and it's a gem. Every song on this CD is a gem, for that matter. the notes say John Hartford heard this song in his Missouri County hometown, sung by Goldie Goforth accompanied by her brother Gene on fiddle. Hartford sings lead and plays fiddle on this cut.
Here's what I hear:


Wolves A'Howlin'

Ah-woooooh! Ah-woooooh!

Cain't you hear them wolves a'howlin',
All around you, poor little darlin'?
Cain't you hear them wolves a'prowlin',
All around you, poor little darlin'?

You better watch out, or the wolves will get you,
But you know I'll never forget you.

Cain't you hear them wolves a'howlin',
All around you, poor little darlin'?
Poor little darlin', poor little darlin'
Howlin' around you, poor little darlin'.

[fiddle break]

One on the hillside, two in the holler,
Bet them wolves have done and got her.

Cain't you hear them wolves a'howlin',
All around you, poor little darlin'?
Cain't you hear them wolves a'prowlin',
All around you, poor little darlin'?

One on the hillside, two in the holler,
Bet them wolves have done and got her.

Ah-woooooh!
