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.

Here's a little story that I really want to tell

It's about Bo Diddley at the O.K Corral

Now, Bo Diddley didn't start no mess

He had a gun on his hip and a rose on his vest

'Cause Bo Diddley's a gunslinger

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

Bo Diddley's a gunslinger

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

Bo Diddley's a gunslinger

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

Bo Diddley's a gunslinger

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

Bo Diddley buys him a diamond ring

If that diamond ring don't shine

He better take it to a private eye

If that private eye can't see

Well, he better bring that ring to me

I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah"

(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)

"Yeah, Bo Diddley, huh"

(Yeah, Bo Diddley, hey, yeah, etc.)

I said, "Why'd ya come to my house

On Black Jack Road

Take my baby away from home

Where'd you go or where you been

Up your house and gone again

I said, "Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley,

Have you heard?

(Hey, Bo Diddley)

My pretty baby, Kim

She was a bird"

(Hey, Bo Diddley)

I said, "Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah"

(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)

"Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah, huh"

(Yeah, Bo Diddley, yeah)

Yeah...Child.....yeah

I said, "Bo Diddley's a gunslinger"

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

"Bo Diddley's a gunslinger"

(Bo Diddley's a gunslinger)

Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
