lyrics

I got that dust infection, pneumonia in my lungs
I just blow from town to town, doing nothing but wrong

White lightning, I'm fixing to die
I'm a crying fever and I'm fine

Mama, please forget me, let me tell you the reason why
I got that fever, honey, it's running high

White lightning, I'm fixing to die
I'm a crying fever and I'm fine

I walked 47 miles of barbed wire, used a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house by the roadside, made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a brand new chimney made on top, made out of human skulls
Come on take a little walk with me, Arlene, tell me who do you love

Tombstone head and a graveyard mind, just 28 and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?

I said 'Depot agent give me half a mind
Forget that fare, let me ride the blinds'
He said 'Get on boy now can't you see
This express don't belong to me'

So I rode a lion to town on a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy honey don't you give me no lip
Arlene took me by my hand
She said 'Oohwee Matt you know I understand'
The night was dark and the sky was blue
Down the alley the ice wagon flew
Heard a pop and heard somebody scream
You should have heard just what I seen

Who do you love?
