I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,
Who do you love? …
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? …
I’ve got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don’t mind dying,
Who do you love? …
