Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Yeh, ah-ha
Yeh, ah-ha
I've got a story I really want to tell,
about Bo Diddley at the O.K. Corral
Now, Bo Diddley didn't stand no mess,
he wore a gun on his hip and a rose on his chest
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Yeh, ah-ha (he must be!)
Yeh, ah-ha (sure 'nuff!)
When Bo Diddley come to town,
the streets get empty and the sun go down
Sheriff's standing in the doorway,
you know he's so scared to say
Yeh, ah-ha
Yeh, ah-ha
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
