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.

(Whoa-ooh baby, I love you)
(Whoa-ooh baby, I love you)
Wait a minute
You know my woman told me, she said, Bo Diddley
I love you, but I'm leavin'
I said, what?
She said, "I love you but I'm leavin' you"
And I said, "Baby?"
And she kept sayin', "Whoa baby, I love you"
What you say, girl?
(Whoa-ooh baby, I love you)
Ow, somethin' wrong here someplace
(Whoa-oh baby, I love you)

Wait a minute
She said now
I said hold it a minute
Let me tell you something
She said, "Here's the key to all of your locks
Take my name off of your mailbox
Here's the key to your Cadillac
I got my own parked right out back"

I said, "What?"
There somethin' wrong here
And she kept talkin' 'bout
I love you (Whoa-ooh baby, I love you)

Fellas, let me tell you somethin'
Ha, ha, ha
Wow! Woo, somethin' wrong
(Whoa-oh baby, I love need you)

Wait a minute, let me tell you what else she told me
She said, "You know one thing, Diddley
I got all my bags packed, in the middle of the dining room floor
I'm just waiting, I'm all packed and ready to go"
I said, "But baby, whoa baby
Baby, baby"

And then she told me, she said
Take my name off your front door
I won't be getting my mail here no more
Got my own place with brand new locks
I'm gonna tell the mailman I got a brand new box
(Whoa-oh baby, I love you) You ain't jiving are you?
