There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new bluejeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain |

Now lets hear the story of Bo Diddley
And the Rock n Roll scene in general Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels In a place called McCoom, Missississipi about 1926 He moved to Chicago about 1938 Where his name was eventually changed to Bo Diddley He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night Till his papa's hair began to turn white His Pa said "Son, listen hear, I know You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go" So he pulled his hat down over his eyes Headed out for them Western Skies I think Bob Dylan said that, he hit New York City He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem Good scene there, everybody raving One day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lights Came a man with a big, long, fat, cigar said, "C'mere son, I'm gonna make you a star" Bo Diddley said, "Uh..whats in it for me?" Man said, "Shut your mouth son, play the guitar and you just wait and see" Well, that boy made it, he made it real big And so did the rest of the rock n roll scene along with him And a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm He changed it into hand-jive and it went like this In a little old country town one day A little old country band began to play Add two guirtars and a beat up saxophone When the drummer said, boy, those cats begin to roam Oh baby oh we oh oh Ooh la la that rock and roll Ya hear me oh we oh oh Ooh la la that rock and roll Then in the U.S. music scene there was big changes made Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola The rock n roll scene died after two years of solid rock And you got discs like, ah... Take good care of my baby Please don't ever make her blue and so forth About, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in England Four young guys with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like, ah... It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog and so on In a place called Richmond in Surrey, whay down in the deep south They got guys with long hair down their back singing I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazz Now we've doing this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time now Bo Diddley visited this country last year We were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle, our home town The doors opened one night and to our surprise Walked in the man himself, Bo Diddley Along with him was Jerome Green, his maraca man, And the Duchess, his gorgeous sister And a we were doing this number Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats, They're all standing around diggin' it And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin' He turned around to Jermone Green And he said, "Hey, Jerome? What do you think these guys Doin' our..our material?" Jerome said, "Uh, where's the bar, man? Please show me to the bar..." He turned around the Duchess And he said, "Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys Doin' our material?" She said, "I don't know. I only came across here To see the changin' of the guards and all that jazz." Well, Bo Diddley looked up and said to me, With half closed eyes and a smile, He said "Man," took off his glasses, He said, "Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish I ever heard in my life..." Hey Bo Diddley Oh Bo Diddley Yeah Bo Diddley Oh Bo Diddley Yeah Bo Diddley |
