[Warren Zevon - Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger/Bo Diddley Live, 1980 lyrics]

Yeah

Well, here's a little story that
I really want to tell
It's about Bo Diddley at the OK 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)
Yeah, Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) yeah

Bo Diddley buys him a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
He better take it to a private eye
And 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, Bo Diddley, yeah
(yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)
Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah (yeah, Bo Diddley)

I said, "Why'd ya come to my house
On Black Jack Road?
Take my baby away from home
Where'd you go, oh, where'd you been?
Up your house and gone again

Hey, huh yeah
Yeah woah
Oh oh
Ah oh
Ooh ooh
Yeah

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
(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's a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
