I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
Got a cobra snake for a necktie
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
So come on take a walk with me, Arlene
And tell me who do you love
Who do you love?
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
When the night was dark but the sky was blue
Down the alley and ice-wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed
You should have heard just what I've seen
What do you see, baby?
Well, I lied, in the town they use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy, Arlene, don't give me no lip
Arlene took me by my hand
Said, "Ooh-wee, Johnny, you don't understand"
Who do you love, baby?
Who do you love?
