Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Told Diddley to buy his baby a diamond ring

If that diamond ring don't shine

He going to take it to a private eye

If that private eye can't see

He'd better not take the ring from me

[Verse 2]

Bo Diddley caught a nanny goat

To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat

Bo Diddley caught a bear cat

To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat

[Verse 3]

Mojo come to my house, and grab that bone

Take my baby away from home

Ugly asked Mojo where's he been

Up your house and gone again

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley, have you heard?

My pretty baby said she want the fur
