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 gin that mamma 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? 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 in a graveyard mine 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 housewagon 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?
