Story Of Bo Diddley Lyrics - Bo Diddley

I was born one night about twelve o'clock 

(Ha-ha-ha) 

I come in this world playin' a gold guitar 

My father was around stickin' out his chest 

(Hee-hee) 

A-now, mama this boy he gon fee' you a mess (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 

Yeah, yea-ha, ooh, uh-huh 

Now, people came from miles around 

Yeah, just to hear my little guitar sound 

Now, some of 'em said I had what it takes 

If I keep on practice I'd be famous one day (Ha-ha) 

Woo, I'm a mess! 

I'm a killer-diller 

Uh-huh, yea-hey, a-uh, uh-huh 

Early in the middle of the night 

A car drove up with four headlights (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 

Now, a man stepped out wit' a long cigar 

He said, 'Sign this line and I can make you a star' (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) 

I said, 'Now, what's in it man, what's in it for me? ' 

He says, play yo' guitar son and wait an see' 

Here I am! (heh-heh-heh, heeee) 

The girls liked me, they say, 'It's crazy, it sound nice, uh-huh 

My first engagement was in Chicago 

I played fo' some people I'd never seen before 

It was good too (ha-ha-ha-ha) 

They like it 

Sound nice
