Hey, Bo Diddley

(Ellas Mcdaniel - 1957)

~~

Bo Diddley done had a farm,

On that farm he had some women,

Women here, women there,

Women, women, women everywhere.

~~

But one little girl lived on a hill,

She rustled and tustled like buffalo bill,

One day she decided she'd go for a ride,

With a pistol and a sword by her side.

~~

She rolled right up to my front door,

Knocked an' knocked 'til her fist got sore,

When she turned and walked away,

All I could hear my baby say:

~~

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.

~~

Saw my baby run across the field,

Slippin' and slidin' like an automobile,

Hollerin', my baby got towed away,

Slipped on from me like a cadillac-8.

~~

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.
