Who Do You Love? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk 47 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
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?
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Verse 2]
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
Just 22 and I don't mind dying
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I walk 47 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
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?
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Verse 2]
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
Just 22 and I don't mind dying
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Verse 3]
I rode a lion into town, use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Verse 5]
Arlene took me by my hand
She said, "Ooh-ee Bo, you know I understand"
I rode a lion into town, use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[Verse 5]
Arlene took me by my hand
She said, "Ooh-ee Bo, you know I understand"
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
