Here's a little story that I really want to tell 
It's about Bo Diddley at the O.K Corral 
Now, Bo Diddley didn't start no mess 
He had a gun on his hip and a rose on his vest 
Cause Bo Diddley's a gunslinger 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
Bo Diddley buys him a diamond ring 
If that diamond ring don't shine 
He better take it to a private eye 
If that private eye can't see 
Well, he better bring that ring to me 
I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah" 
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah) 
"Yeah, Bo Diddley, huh" 
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, hey, yeah, etc.) 
I said, "Why'd ya come to my house 
On Black Jack Road 
Take my baby away from home 
Where'd you go or where you been 
Up your house and gone again 
I said, "Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley, 
Have you heard? 
(Hey, Bo Diddley) 
My pretty baby, Kim 
She was a bird" 
(Hey, Bo Diddley) 
I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah" 
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah) 
"Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah, huh" 
(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah) 
Yeah, child, yeah 
I said, "Bo Diddley's a gunslinger" 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
"Bo Diddley's a gunslinger" 
(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger) 
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
