strum fast and slide down the neck
I walked forty-seven miles of
barbed wire. I got a cobra snake
for a necktie.
A brand new house on the
roadside 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 22 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? [2x]
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?
