Bo Diddley bought his babe a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don’t shine
He gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can’t see
He’d better not take the ring from me
Bo Diddley caught a nanny goat
To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat
Bo Diddley caught a bear cat
To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat
Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone
Take my baby away from home
Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin
Up your house, and gone again
Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard?
My pretty baby said she wasn’t for it
AS HE DOES NOT KNOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR, RECOVER THE DANCING TRICKS OR OTHER THINGS TO DISTRATION FROM THE PUBLIC, BO USES THE GUITAR AS A PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT, MORE THAN AS A GUITAR.
