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
