Now when I was a little boy,
At the age of five, I had somethin' in my pocket, Keep a lot of folks alive. Now I'm a man, Made twenty-one, You know baby, We can have a lot of fun. I'm a man, I spell M-A-N...man. All you pretty women, Stand in line, I can make love to you baby, In an hour's time. I'm a man, I spell M-A-N...man. I goin' back down, To Kansas to Bring back the second cousin, Little John the conqueroo. I'm a man, I spell M-A-N...man. The line I shoot, Will never miss, The way I make love to 'em, They can't resist. I'm a man, I spell M-A-N...man. |

Diddley Diddley daddy, Diddley Diddley daddy. I got a baby that's oh so pretty, I found her right here in the Windy City, Somebody kissed my baby last night, My pretty baby cried, you know it wasn't right. Diddley Diddley daddy, Diddley Diddley daddy.

Diddley Diddley daddy, Diddley Diddley daddy. Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley here's our scene, I want to know if you do love me. Diddley Diddley daddy, Diddley Diddley daddy. |

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
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 She said, "Oohwee Bo, you know I understand." Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? |

(Ellas McDaniel/Harvey Fuqua/Alan Freed) 1958
I'm sorry, Oh, I'm sorry, Oh baby, I'm sorry, For the things I said to you. You know I love you, You know I care, With you, my new heart I want to share, Darling I need you, With all your heart and soul, To know that I want you, and I'll never let you go, But forgive me, Please forgive me, Please forgive me, For I knew not what I was sayin'. Come on little baby, Come on darling, Give me another chance, To make up on my wrong, You know that I love you, You know I'll put nobody else above you, Come on, come on, Say that you'll love me. I'm sorry, Oh yes I'm sorry, Oh I'm sorry, For the things I said t' you. |

Dearest darling,
Dearest darling, Dearest darling. Don't you know, The Lord above, Created you, Just for me to love, Picked you out, From all the rest, Because He knew I loved you best. Dearest darling, Dearest darling, Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand I once had a heart, So trill and true, But now it's gone, From me to you, Take care of it, Like I have done, For you have two hearts, And I have none. Dearest darling, Dearest darling, Dearest darling. If I get to heaven, Before you do, I'll try to make a hole, And pull you thru. Dearest...dearest...dearest. If I go to heaven, And you not there, I'm gonna write your name, On the heavenly stair, If you aren't there, By turn of day, Then I know baby, You know the way. Dearest...dearest...dearest, O sweet baby, o sweet baby... |

(Alternate lines spoken by BO DIDDLEY and Jerome Green): Say man, What's that boy? I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend, What about my girl? Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message, I'm strong enough, I might hurt your feelings, My feelings are already hurt by being here with you, Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day, Ah-ha, And the wind was blowin' real hard, Is that right? And the wind blew her hair into my face, Ah-ha, You know what else happened? What happened? The wind blew her hair into her face, Yeh? And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it? I might as well, The wind blew her hair into the street! Ok; since you told me about my girl, I'm gonna tell you about yours. I was walking down the street with your girl, Yes? I took her home, for a drink, you know, Took her home? Yeh, jus' for a drink, Oh, But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water! You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly; why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested! That's alright; my momma didn't have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me! Look-a here! What's that? Where are you from? South America, What's that? South America, You don't look like no South American to me, I'm still from South America, What part? South Texas! Where are your workin' boots at? I've got 'em on, Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes! Hey, look-a here! What's that? I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is, I already figured out what YOU is! What's that? You that thing I throw peanuts at! Look-a here! What's that? You should be ashamed of yourself, Why? Calling people ugly, I didn't call you ugly, What you say? I said you was ruined, that's all! You know somethin'? What? You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick! Hey! I ain't got nothin' to do with it, but I beat the fellah right...! |
