Who Do You Love
Bo Diddley Muddy Waters Little Walter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 walk with me, arlene,
And tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine,
Just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip,
Take it easy arlene, don't give me no lip,
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Night was dark, but the sky was blue,
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,
Heard a bump, and somebody screamed,
You should have heard just what I seen.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand,
And she said oh bo, you know I understand.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
The song "Who Do You Love" is a classic blues rock tune that is known for its unique lyrics and driving beat. The lyrics of the song are very imaginative and describe a man who is confident and fearless, walking on barbed wire, wearing a cobra-snake necktie, and living in a house made from rattlesnake hide. He also has a chimney made out of a human skull. The song is essentially a boastful challenge to Arlene to prove her love for the singer through acts of courage and loyalty.
The use of the tombstone hand and graveyard mine suggests that the singer may be involved in some kind of dangerous business, but he is unfazed by the risk of death. He continues to brag about riding around town with a rattlesnake whip and warns Arlene not to give him any trouble. The second half of the song is mostly about a mysterious event that takes place in the middle of the night, involving an ice wagon and a scream.
Throughout the song, the singer challenges Arlene to show her love for him by standing by him no matter what. The song's driving beat and catchy lyrics make it a classic of the blues rock genre.
