Who Do You Love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side
And it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top
And it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me, baby, and tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?

Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy, baby, don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Now Arlene took a-me by my hand
She said "Lonesome George, you don't understand,
Who do you love?"
The night were dark and the sky were blue
Down the alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed
You should've heard what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine
Just twenty-two, baby, I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes, baby, put them on your feet
Got the goodtime music and the Bo Diddley beat
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side
And it's made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top
And it's made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me, child, tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Who do you love?
