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 says she was a bird
