Subject: Lyr Add: WHO DO YOU LOVE (Bo Diddley=E McDaniel)
Here's the complete version:

I walked 47 miles 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.
There's a little bitty chimney built up on top,
Made out of a human skull.
Come on baby take a walk with me, Eileen, tell me,
Who do you love? (3)

I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind,
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dyin'.
Who do you love? (3)

Eileen took me by my hand,
She said, "Hey, Bo Diddley you know I understand?
Who do you love? (3)

I'm goin' round town with a rattlesnake whip.
You take it easy honey don't you give me no lip.
Who do you love? (3)

BRIDGE:

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

Repeat first verse.

From Tom Rush's album, "Take a Little Walk With Me".
