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

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
