The Lyrics

Strange, but true, story of a Wild Wolf Girl who had been raised by wolves in Texas after the death of her mother in child-birth. The wolves had carried the baby off and raised it (she was presumed dead). She was then sighted ten years later in 1845 as a dirty, naked thing with long flowing hair covering her body that had killed goats to survive near the Devil's River which the inhabitants already feared was haunted. After some time, Apache Indians tracked her down while Mexican Vaqueros trapped her in a canyon. They attempted to civilize her, but locked her up in a room in a house and boarded-up her window. Every night she was heard howling for help and after a few days the wolves showed in in a large pack. They helped tear the boards away and she escaped with them, never captured again and never seen after 1852 (she would have been 17 by this time). She became know as the Lobo Girl of the Devil's River...
Devil’s River girl was lobo
first sighted 1845

Abandoned baby was raised by wolves
She was killin’
Barely was survivin’

Apaches had tracked “it”
Naked, runnin’ around
Dirty and noticeably hairy
Mexican Vaqueros hunted her down

Devil’s River girl was lobo
first sighted 1845
Had survived (childbirth and wildlife)

They caught you
They caught you
They caught you
With a lasso somehow
She was scared
Clawing and biting fiercely
Frantically, she howled (for help)

Wolf pack heard
Devil’s River girl was lobo
first sighted 1845
(they came and rescued her)
