Bo Diddley

Ellas Otha Bates (December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008), known by his stage name Bo Diddley, was an American rhythm and blues vocalist, guitarist, songwriter (usually as Ellas McDaniel), and rock and roll pioneer. He was also known as The Originator because of his key role in the transition from the blues to rock, influencing a host of acts, including Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, The Who, The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton,Elvis Presley,The Beatles, and George Michael, among others. He introduced more insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged electric guitar sound on a wide-ranging catalog of songs, along with African rhythms and a signature beat (a simple, five-accent rhythm) that remains a cornerstone of rock and pop.

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling

Don't you know
The lord above
Created you
Just for me to love

Picked you out
From all the rest
Because he knew I loved you best

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand

I once had a heart
So trill and true
But now it's gone
From me to you

Take care of it
Like I have done
For you have two hearts
And I have none

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah
Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah
Darling, yeah yeah, darling, yeah yeah

If I get to heaven
Before you do
I'll try to make a hole
And pull you through

Woah, dearest, dearest, dearest

If I go to heaven
And you not there
I'm gonna write your name
On the heavenly stair

If you aren't there
By turn of day
Then I know baby
You know the way

Woah, dearest, dearest, dearest
Oh sweet baby, oh sweet baby, oh, oh, oh
