Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bo Diddley done had a farm
Hey, Bo Diddley
On that farm he had some women
Yeah, Bo Diddley
Women here and a-women there
Hey, Bo Diddley
Women, women, women everywhere
Hey, Bo Diddley
[Verse 2]
But one little girl lived on a hill
Hey, Bo Diddley
She rustled and tussled like Buffalo Bill
Hey, Bo Diddley
One day she decide she'd go for a ride
Hey, Bo Diddley
With a pistol and a sword by her side
Hey, Bo Diddley
[Verse 3]
She rolled right up to my front door
Hey, Bo Diddley
Knocked and knocked till her fist got sore
Hey, Bo Diddley
When she turned and walked away
Hey, Bo Diddley
All I could hear my baby say
Hey, Bo Diddley
[Chorus]
Hey, Bo Diddley
Hey, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
[Verse 4]
Saw my baby run across the field
Hey, Bo Diddley
Slippin' and slidin' like a automobile
Hey, Bo Diddley
Hollerin', my baby got towed away
Hey, Bo Diddley
Slipped off from me like a Cadillac 8
Hey, Bo Diddley
[Chorus]
Hey, Bo Diddley
Hey, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Oh, Bo Diddley
Hey, Bo Diddley
Hey, Bo Diddley
