2. _ Dearest Darling
(ellas mcdaniel) 1958
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling.
Don't you know,
The lord above,
Created you,
Just for me to love,
Picked you out,
From all the rest,
Because he knew i loved you best.
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand
I once had a heart,
So trill and true,
But now it's gone,
From me to you,
Take care of it,
Like i have done,
For you have two hearts,
And i have none.
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling,
Dearest darling.
If i get to heaven,
Before you do,
I'll try to make a hole,
And pull you thru.
Dearest...dearest...dearest.
If i go to heaven,
And you not there,
I'm gonna write your name,
On the heavenly stair,
If you aren't there,
By turn of day,
Then i know baby,
You know the way.
Dearest...dearest...dearest,
O sweet baby, o sweet baby...

(ellas mcdaniel) 1955
Now when i was a little boy,
At the age of five,
I had somethin' in my pocket,
Keep a lot of folks alive.
Now i'm a man,

The way i make love to 'em,
They can't resist.

Diddley diddley daddy,
Diddley diddley daddy.
I got a baby that's oh so pretty,
I found her right here in the windy city,

6. _ Say Man
(ellas mcdaniel) 1959
(alternate lines spoken by bo diddley and jerome green):
Say man,
What's that boy?
I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend,
What about my girl?
Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message,
I'm strong enough,
I might hurt your feelings,
My feelings are already hurt by being here with you,
Well, i was walking down the street with your girl the other day,
Ah-ha,
And the wind was blowin' real hard,
Is that right?
And the wind blew her hair into my face,
Ah-ha,
You know what else happened?
What happened?
The wind blew her hair into her face,
Yeh?
And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it?
I might as well,
The wind blew her hair into the street!
Ok; since you told me about my girl, i'm gonna tell you about yours. i was walking down the street with your girl,
Yes?
I took her home, for a drink, you know,
Took her home?
Yeh, jus' for a drink,
Oh,
But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!
You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly; why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested!
That's alright; my momma didn't have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me!
Look-a here!
What's that?
Where are you from?
South america,
What's that?
South america,
You don't look like no south american to me,
I'm still from south america,
What part?
South texas!
Where are your workin' boots at?
I've got 'em on,
Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes!
Hey, look-a here!
What's that?
I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is,
I already figured out what you is!
What's that?
You that thing i throw peanuts at!
Look-a here!
What's that?
You should be ashamed of yourself,
Why?
Calling people ugly,
I didn't call you ugly,
What you say?
I said you was ruined, that's all!
You know somethin'?
What?
You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick!
Hey! i ain't got nothin' to do with it, but i beat the fellah right...!

10. _ You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover
(willie dixon) 1962
You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree,
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee,
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see,
Oh you misjudge me,
I look like a farmer,
But i'm a lover,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh come on in closer baby,
Hear what else i gotta say!
You got your radio turned down too low,
Turn it up!
You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane,
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man,
You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see,
Oh you misjudge me,
I look like a farmer,
But i'm a lover,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond,
You can't judge right from looking at the wrong,
You can't judge one by looking at the other,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see,
Oh you misjudge me,
I look like a farmer,
But i'm a lover,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

11. _ Hey, Bo Diddley
(ellas mcdaniel) 1957
Bo diddley done had a farm,
On that farm he had some women,
Women here, women there,
Women, women, women everywhere.
But one little girl lived on a hill,
She rustled and tustled like buffalo bill,
One day she decided she'd go for a ride,
With a pistol and a sword by her side.
She rolled right up to my front door,
Knocked an' knocked 'til her fist got sore,
When she turned and walked away,
All i could hear my baby say:
Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,
Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.
Saw my baby run across the field,
Slippin' and slidin' like an automobile,
Hollerin', my baby got towed away,
Slipped on from me like a cadillac-8.
Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,
Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.

12. _ Who Do You Love
(ellas mcdaniel) 1956
I walk 47 miles of barbed wire,
I use a cobra-snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made from rattlesnake hide,
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of a human skull,
Now come on take a walk with me, arlene,
And tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine,
Just 22 and i don't mind dying.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip,
Take it easy arlene, don't give me no lip,
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Night was dark, but the sky was blue,
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,
Heard a bump, and somebody screamed,
You should have heard just what i seen.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand,
And she said ooowee bo, you know i understand.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I'm sorry,
Oh, i'm sorry,
Oh baby, i'm sorry,
For the things i said to you.

14. _ Bo Diddley
(ellas mcdaniel) 1955
Bo diddley bought his babe a diamond ring,
If that diamond ring don't shine,
He gonna take it to a private eye,
If that private eye can't see
He'd better not take the ring from me.
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.
Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone,
Take my baby away from home,
Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin,
Up your house, and gone again.
Bo diddley, bo diddley have you heard?
My pretty baby said she wasn't for it.

(ellas mcdaniel) 1960
Bo diddley's a gunslinger,
Bo diddley's a gunslinger,
Yeh, ah-ha,
Yeh, ah-ha,
I've got a story i really want to tell,
About bo diddley at the o-k corral,
Now, bo diddley didn't stand no mess,
He wore a gun on his hip and a rose on his chest,
Bo diddley's a gunslinger,
Bo diddley's a gunslinger,
Yeh, ah-ha (he must be!),
Yeh, ah-ha (sure 'nuff!),
When bo diddley come to town,
The streets get empty and the sun go down,
Sheriff's standing in the doorway,
You know he's so scared to say.
Yeh, ah-ha,
Yeh, ah-ha,
Bo diddley's a gunslinger,
Bo diddley's a gunslinger.
