Bo Diddley buys baby diamond ring
if that diamond ring don't shine
he's gonna take it to a private eye
if that private I can't see
even not take a ring from me

Bo Diddley caught a nanny goat
to make his pretty baby a Sunday coat
Bo Diddley called a bear cat
making pretty baby on sunday hat

Won't you come to my house a black cat bone
to take my baby all away from home
Brother Bo just where you been?
up your house and gone again
Bo Diddley
Bo Diddley have you heard
my pretty baby she was a bird
