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
