Walked 47 mile of barbed wire
I used a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand-new house on the roadside
And made out of rattlesnake hide

There's a little bitty chimney built up on top
Made out of a human skull
Come on, baby, take a little walk with me
Arlene, tell me who do you love

Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Arlene took me by my hand
And said, "Hey, Bo Didley, now I understand"

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Hey
I'm going 'round town with a rattlesnake whip
You take it easy, Noreen, don't you give me no lip

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

The night was dark, the sky was blue
Down the alley, an ice wagon flew
Door banged open, somebody screamed
You would've heard just what I'd seen

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I walked 47 mile of barbed wire
I used a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand-new house on the roadside
Made out of rattlesnake hide

And there's a little bitty chimney built up on top
Made out of a human skull
Come on, baby, take a little walk with me
Arlene, tell me who do you love

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
