If that diamond ring don't shine, he gonna take it to a private eye.
If that private eye can't see, he gonna take it to ring of police.

Bo dilly, my baby nanny goat, make a pretty baby out of Sunday coat.

Won't you come to my house with black cap on, take my baby all away from home.
Ugly old mojo, where you been?
I'll be your house and home again.
Bo dilly, bo dilly, I love you.
Bo dilly, bo dilly, it is true.

I saw Bo diddly the first time I saw him.
He was playing in Philadelphia.
And he was opening for 10 years after.
And I was thinking,
are these youngsters gonna dig Bo diddly?
Are they, you know, this [F#m]
hippie crowd?
Are they gonna go for Bo's thing?
He came out on the stage and he looks at the crowd.
He sees everybody with the long hair and tie-dye shirts.
And, you know, he's looking at everybody.
And he always looked at people kind of suspiciously.
You know, he was that way.
He was a little defensive, a little like edging his way
and looking and saying, I don't know, man.
And he goes like this.
He goes.
[N]
And the place went crazy.
And he goes, I'm Bo diddly.
I said, yes.
And he was there 10 years after.
And just paddled ourselves home.
And he led off with that song, Bo diddly.
That's the first time in my life I ever led off with Bo diddly.
Because you guys reminded me of that when I walked out here with the thing.
I said, I gotta do it, man.
I gotta live it.
[E] So bear with me.
You asked me to come here.
You know, you wanted me, you got me.
All of it.
I wanted to show you my right-hand man, my man riding shotgun,
and I'm watching my back.
This is Jim Shotgun-Souler from Dallas, Texas.
And if you want to hear some [G#] guitar, this is the man.
