Here`s a little story that I really want to tell
It`s about Bo Diddley at the O.K Corral
Now, Bo Diddley didn`t start no mess
He had a gun on his hip and a rose on his vest
`Cause Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley buys him a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don`t shine
He better take it to a private eye
If that private eye can`t see
Well, he better bring that ring to me
I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah"
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)
"Yeah, Bo Diddley, huh"
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, hey, yeah, etc.)
I said, "Why`d ya come to my house
On Black Jack Road
Take my baby away from home
Where`d you go or where you been
Up your house and gone again
I said, "Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley,
Have you heard?
(Hey, Bo Diddley)
My pretty baby, Kim
She was a bird"
(Hey, Bo Diddley)
I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah"
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)
"Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah, huh"
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)
Yeah...Child.....yeah
I said, "Bo Diddley`s a gunslinger"
