You All Green Lyrics - Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley

It was down in a canyon down Mexico way 

This is the tale I heard happened one day 

We were playing some Poker an plying some boose 

Where any old Hombre could win or lose 

Up from the table jumped YOU ALL GREEN 

the baddest Hombre you have ever seen 

He said no wonder I can't win a hand tonight 

Cos that stranger over there from Texas is between me and the light 

Want to hear all about me 

Just before I do here's my last decree 

My name is YOU ALL GREEN I am from New Orleans 

I am about the baddest Hombre you have ever seen. 

I was born in a barn with a Butcher's knife 

trouble I love thieves I despise 

Wild Horses kicked me in my side and a Rattle snake bit me and crawled off and died 

When I was Seven I went to Spain to put the Thunder in cuffs and the Rain in chains 

Walked Barbed wire, barefoot for miles or more 

Seen lying in the Basin there lays the road. 

Stranger stood up slow,with his Gun hanging low 

Spoke with a draw so deep and low 

I am YOU ALL GREEN I'm from New Orleans 

I'm about the baddest Hombre you have ever seen 

His hand flashed to quick for the Human eye 

but he was already look down the barrel of a Forty Five 

One shot rang out with a Hell of a roar 

and the next body lies there on the floor 

I am YOU ALL GREEN I am from New Orleans 

I, about the baddest Hombre you have ever seen. 

Have Mercy
