Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire

I use a cobra-snake for a necktie

I got a brand-new house on the roadside

Made from rattlesnake hide

[Verse 2]

I got a brand-new chimney made on top

Made out of a human skull

Now, come on, take a little walk with me, Arlene

And tell me, who do you love?

[Verse 3]

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

[Verse 4]

A tombstone hand and a graveyard mind

Just twenty-two and I don't mind dyin'

[Verse 5]

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

[Verse 6]

I rode a lion to town, use a rattlesnake whip

Take it easy, Arlene, don't give me no lip

[Verse 7]

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

[Verse 8]

Night was dark, but the sky was blue

Down the alley a ice-wagon flew

Hit a bump and somebody screamed

You should have heard just what I seen

[Verse 9]

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

[Verse 10]

Arlene took me by my hand

She says, "Ooh-wee! Bo, you know I understand"

[Verse 11]

Who do you love, honey?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?
