Bo Diddley
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bo Diddley bought his babe a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
He gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
He'd better not take the ring from me
Bo Diddley caught a nanny goat
To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat
Bo Diddley caught a bear cat
To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat
Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone
Take my baby away from home
Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin
Up your house, and gone again
Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard?
My pretty baby said she wasn't for it
