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 chimney 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 and a graveyard mind,

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 house wagon 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?



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 made out of rattlesnake hide

Got a band new chimney put on top,

and it's made out of human skull

Come on take a little walk with me child,

tell me who do you love?

Who do you love?

Who do you love?
