The Story Of Bo Diddley

Lyrics for The Story Of Bo Diddley

I was born one night about 12 o'clock I come in this world playing a gold guitar My papa walk around sticking out his chest, "Ah Now mama, this boy, he gonna be a mess." Yeah Hey Oh Uh-huh Now people came from miles around And just to hear my little guitar sound Now some of them said I had what it takes If I keep on practicing I'd be famous one day Woo, I'm a mess I'm a killer diller Uh-huh Hey-hey Ah Uh-huh Early in the middle of the night, a car drove up with four headlights Now a man stepped out with a long cigar He says, "Sign this line and I can make you a star." I says, "What's in it, man, what's in it for me?" He says "Now play your guitar, son, and wait and see." Here I am Woo The girls like me They say it's crazy Sound nice Oh My first engagement was in Chicago I played for some people I'd never seen before It was good though They like it Sound nice Woo Yeah, man I'm a killer diller I'm a killer diller
