Lyrics:
Hey now, Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
I walk forty-seven 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
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side,
And it's a-made out
I was meant to be by your side
And I have waited here a long time
For you to turn around and notice me
But now you're here holdin' hands with me
We're sending our love over telephone wire.
These days getting lonelier by the mile...by the mile."
It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
was kissed by fire
If idris came to Ghana I would hear through the wire
And if ye didin't wanna, I'd still play through the wire
Schultz Zulu, and Khan
As we get away from the rest of the crew
I'll take you by the lead, there's something I wanna show you
The sun set low
Let's catch it by the lake
with your friends
But I'm on fire
Burned out by desire
I'll just stay home
I'm too tired
Stripped down to the wire
I'm on fire
Burned out by desire
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a house down by the roadside made out of rattlesnake hide
Come on child
Once upon a time there was an engineer.
Drove a locomotive both far and near.
Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool
Watching
Yeah, yeah
I walked 47 miles on barbed wire
Cobra snake for a necktie
Built a house by the roadside
Made of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney
a third world child
I smile like a crazy crocodile
I don t do shift by the kilomethers I
do it by the mile
Ha, it s been a while since I freestyle in my
i'm catchin ulcers from the childproof lighters
and all of these fine-toothed fighters
that keep the wires in my head tighter
i'm tired out by
reminder
Communication started by the rails
Every single mile of the new railroad
Cable was suspended by the track
And with every inch of that invention
inner core
Alone
She's gone
They say
Away
Million miles away
Years go by
When I die
Waiting for that day
Let my spirit fly to you
Million miles away
dey for you
And I go stand by you
Oya tell your mama
I dey come see your papa
I for like come ileya eh
Wire this your aza eh
Oya tell your mama
I dey
you say what you're thinking bout
Holding my neck by a wire string
Dragging me forward with no way out
I know that I'll always be wondering
Do you talk
could see this coming on
From miles away and moments come and gone
Wait by the phone, I'll be coming down through the wires
Already home in the light
with an awful sound
A monolith of buttons and wire
Alive with sounds of electric fire
A solid brass was helmet placed onto me
The machine sucked the soul
meaning that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
Who understands
Why the world's nasty girl
When we're doin' the best
show
You're holding back
Words lack meaning that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
Ooh who understands.
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey that would
Sit on a stool
Watching everything
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out
I've walked a million miles and never rested by your side
I don't know a hundred things but sometimes I know what they can bring
If I went away now,
