Bo Diddley Special - Eric Burdon

作词:Eric Burdon/Terry Wilson

作曲:Eric Burdon/Terry Wilson

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

If the women don't get you Bo Diddley must

We were two ships passing in the night

But we never did meet eye to eye

I was given this gift without asking

This is my way of saying goodbye

So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line

He spent his life with his guitar slung real low

Digging that polongo beat wherever he'd go

From the streets of Mississippi all the way to Tokyo

The most African American I ever did know

So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line

Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye so long

We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on

Goodbye Bo Diddley I guess I waited too long

Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye

So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line Diddley line

Bo Diddley came roarin' into my life

Like a big freight train rolling through the night

I never will forget the day he came to my hometown

He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down

Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye so long

We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on

Goodbye Bo Diddley

Goodbye Bo Diddley Goodbye Bo Diddley so long

Yeah I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line

Now let me tell you what was so special about Bo Diddley

He had a hand like a plate of fish and chips

He dressed in the most romantic style

With a tartan jacket and pin stripe polyester pants

All the way down the aisle

He rode his motor scooter around Clearwater Florida

With his guitar on his back

You know it was square and it was red

And the last thing was the first thing he ever said he said

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line

As the cortege stepped out into the night

All the best young dudes dressed in white

A city bus came rolling by Destination: Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special

I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
