Lyrics

The dogs are in the woods
And the huntin's lookin' good
A racket on over the hill
I can hear them trailin' still
Now he's on the other side
Lookin' a place to hide
And the dogs are in the woods
And the huntin's lookin' good
The dogs'll hunt him down
And catch him on the ground
The fur's gonna fly
Then a hound's gonna cry
Might not know tonight
Who will finally win this fight
But the dogs are in the woods
And the huntin's lookin' good
Yeah, good boy
Woof, woof
Oh, the fire is burnin' low
So, we'll wet it down and go
We'll make a b-line
To that howlin' in the pine
It's too far to see
They barked him up a tree
Then we hear 'em on the run
And the night has just begun
And the dogs are in the woods
And the huntin's lookin' good
Yeah
You hear that? You hear that?
Woof, woof
The hounds startin' to cry
And the fur is gonna fly
We may not know tonight
Who's gonna finally win this fight
But the dogs are in the woods
And the huntin's lookin' good
