Evil
Howlin’ Wolf Lyrics

If you're a long way from home
Feeling lost and far from where you belong

Can't sleep at night
Restless and uneasy, your mind won't settle

Grab your telephone
Reach out for help and support, seek guidance

Something just ain't right
Sensing danger, warning signs that something is off

That's evil
Recognizing the presence of dark forces at work

Evil is goin' on wrong
The bad energy is growing and escalating

I am warning you, brother
Advising and cautioning you as a trusted friend

You better watch your happy home
Take care of your safe haven, protect your family and possessions

Well, long way from home and
Still feeling like a stranger in a distant land

Can't sleep at all
Tossing and turning, tormented by doubts and fears

You know another mule is
Realizing that someone else is trespassing and taking what's yours

Kickin' in your stall
Causing damage and chaos, disrupting your life

You better catch him
Track down the culprit and bring them to justice

'Cause somethin' wrong
There's a problem that needs to be addressed and fixed

If ya call her on the telephone and she
Trying to reach out to your loved one, but something feels off

Answers aweful slow
Responding in a way that suggests they're hiding something or avoiding the truth

Grab the first train smokin' if you
Take immediate action, leave everything behind and run

Have to hobo
Even if it means being homeless and alone for a while

If you make it to your house
Returning to your sanctuary, hoping to find peace and security

Knock on the front door
Announcing your arrival, expecting to be welcomed back

Run around to the back, you'll catch him
Sneaking up on the intruder, surprising them and catching them in the act

Just before he go
Stopping them before they can cause any more harm
