Bo Diddley passed away yesterday morning at the age of 79. Before he left, he gave the world the coolest fucking song lyrics ever written.
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire,
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie.
Got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me:
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by the hand,
And said, "Ooo-eee, daddy, I understand."
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
The night was black and the night was blue,
And around the corner an ice wagon flew.
A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screamed,
"You should have heard just what I seen!"
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand,
She said, "Ooo-eee, Bo, you know I understand."
I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind,
I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
