Bo Diddley

Ellas Otha Bates (December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008), known by his stage name Bo Diddley, was an American rhythm and blues vocalist, guitarist, songwriter (usually as Ellas McDaniel), and rock and roll pioneer. He was also known as The Originator because of his key role in the transition from the blues to rock, influencing a host of acts, including Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, The Who, The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton,Elvis Presley,The Beatles, and George Michael, among others. He introduced more insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged electric guitar sound on a wide-ranging catalog of songs, along with African rhythms and a signature beat (a simple, five-accent rhythm) that remains a cornerstone of rock and pop.

Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, 
You know you gotta runnin' machine
Baby, baby ride on, Josephine
Baby ride on

Well, Josephine drivin' in a hopped up Ford
Twin carburetors gonna burn up the road
Twin exhaust stickin' out of the rear
Something that'll really take her away from here
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, 
girl you gotta runnin' machine
Ride on, Josephine, baby ride on

Josephine's engine, said it started runnin' hot
Tried to trade it in at a used car lot
The man couldn't believe his natural eyes
When she pulled it up into his drive
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Woo, ride on, Josephine, ride on
Yeah, ride on, Josephine, 

You know you gotta runnin' machine
Ride on, Josephine, baby ride on

Josephine
Your tank is leakin' baby 
I think you better slow down and ride with me
You say what?
You tell me to hush up and mind my own business
Baby, you are my business
You good business, baby
I just love good business
And there's plenty of good business 
in Atlanta tonight!
You say what?
You ask me what kind of car am I drivin', baby
I tell ya
I gotta '68 Cadillac with Thunderbird wings
I'm tellin' ya, baby, it's a bad ole thing
I can burn rubber in each and every gear
I think I can rock 'n' roll right out of here
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Woo, ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, 
you know you gotta runnin' machine
Ride on, Josephine, baby ride on
