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?
