《The Story Of Bo Diddley(1997 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Story Of Bo Diddley - The Animals

[00:00:10] Now let's hear the story of Bo Diddley

[00:00:13] And the rock 'n' roll scene in general

[00:00:17] Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels

[00:00:21] In a place called McCoom

[00:00:23] Mississipi about 1926

[00:00:27] He moved to Chicago about 1938

[00:00:31] Where his name was eventually changed

[00:00:35] To Bo Diddley

[00:00:37] He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night

[00:00:45] Till his papa's hair began to turn white

[00:00:49] His pa said "Son listen hear I know

[00:00:53] You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go"

[00:00:58] So he pulled his hat down over his eyes

[00:01:02] Headed out for them western skies

[00:01:04] I think Bob Dylan said that

[00:01:06] He hit New York City

[00:01:10] He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem

[00:01:13] Good scene there everybody raving

[00:01:17] One day one night came a Cadillac with four head lights

[00:01:26] Came a man with a big long fat cigar

[00:01:28] Said "C'mere son I'm gonna make you a star"

[00:01:32] Bo Diddley said "Uh what's in it for me "

[00:01:36] Man said "Shut your mouth son

[00:01:39] Play the guitar and you just wait and see"

[00:01:42] Well that boy made it he made it real big

[00:01:46] And so did the rest of the rock 'n' roll scene along with him

[00:01:50] And a white guy called Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm

[00:01:55] He changed it into handjive and it went like this

[00:02:02] In a little old country town one day

[00:02:06] A little old country band began to play

[00:02:09] Add two guitars and a beat up saxophone

[00:02:13] When the drummer said "Boy those cats begin to roam"

[00:02:17] Oh baby oh we oh oh

[00:02:21] Ooh la la that rock 'n' roll

[00:02:25] Ya hear me oh we oh oh

[00:02:29] Ooh la la that rock 'n' roll

[00:02:34] Then in the U S music scene there was big changes made

[00:02:39] Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola

[00:02:45] The rock 'n' roll scene died after two years of solid rock

[00:02:49] And you got discs like ah

[00:02:53] "Take good care of my baby

[00:02:57] Please don't ever make her blue" and so forth

[00:03:03] About ah one year later in a place called Liverpool in England

[00:03:09] Four young guys with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like ah

[00:03:16] "It's been a hard days night and I've been workin' like a dog" and so on

[00:03:26] In a place called Richmond in Surrey way down in the deep south

[00:03:32] They got guys with long hair down their back singin'

[00:03:35] "I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah" and all that jazz

[00:03:43] Now we've doin' this number Bo Diddley for quite some time now

[00:03:47] Bo Diddley visited this country last year

[00:03:52] We were playin' at the club a Gogo in Newcastle our home town

[00:03:58] And the doors opened one night and to our surprise

[00:04:02] Walked in the man himself Bo Diddley

[00:04:06] Along with him was Jerome Green his Maraca man

[00:04:10] And the Duchess his gorgeous sister

[00:04:14] And a we were doin' doin' this number

[00:04:18] Along with them came the Rolling Stones the Mersey Beats

[00:04:22] They're all standin' around diggin' it

[00:04:24] And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin'

[00:04:27] He turned around to Jermone Green

[00:04:28] And he said "Hey Jerome

[00:04:32] What do you think these guys doin' our our material "

[00:04:37] Jerome said "Uh where's the bar man please show me to the bar"

[00:04:43] He turned around the Duchess

[00:04:44] And he said "Hey Duchess

[00:04:46] What do you think of these young guys doin' our material "

[00:04:49] She said "I don't know

[00:04:52] I only came across here to see

[00:04:53] The changin' of the guards and all that jazz"

[00:04:56] Well Bo Diddley looked up at me and he said

[00:04:59] With half closed eyes and a smile

[00:05:02] He said "Man took off his glasses"

[00:05:07] He said "Man that sure is the biggest load of rubbish

[00:05:13] I ever heard in my life"

[00:05:15] Hey Bo Diddley

[00:05:20] Oh Bo Diddley

[00:05:23] Yeah Bo Diddley

[00:05:27] Oh Bo Diddley
