"Bo Diddley" lyrics

[Part I. Bo Diddley]

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard
Mama gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Well, she gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
My baby, gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
He gonna have to come and talk to me

I said hey, Bo Diddley
Hey now, Bo Diddley
Hey now, Bo Diddley
Hey now, Bo Diddley
Ah yeah, hey, hey

[Part II. Who Do You Love?]

I walk forty-seven miles of barbed wire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside, child
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney, baby, there on top
Made out of a human skull
Come and take a little walk with me, honey
Tell me, who do you love?

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Arlene took me by my hand
She said, "Cool it, Robert, you know you're my man"

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I wanna know
Oh

The night was dark, they say the sky was blue
Down the alley, an ice-wagon flew
Hit a bump, child, someone screamed
"You heard just what I seen"

I said, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Oh
Yeah
Hey
Hey
Hoo
Yeah
