Tail Dragger

by Willie Dixon recording of August 1963 from Real Folk Blues (MCA 9273) I'm a tail dragger I wipe out my tracks When I get what I want I don't come sneakin' back The mighty wolf Makin' a midnight creep The hunters They can't find him Stealin' chicks everywhere he go Then draggin' his tail behind I'm a tail dragger I wipe out my tracks When I get what I want Well I don't come sneakin' back The 'cuda drags His tail in the sand The fish wiggles His tail in the water When the mighty wolf come a long Draggin' his tail He done sole somebody's daughter I'm a tail dragger I wipe out my tracks When I get what I want Well I don't come sneakin' back
