Gunslinger Lyrics by Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger

1960

[Chorus]
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Yeh, ah-ha
Yeh, ah-ha

[Verse 1]
I've got a story I really want to tell
About Bo Diddley at the O-K corral
Now, Bo Diddley didn't stand no mess
He wore a gun on his hip and a rose on his chest

[Chorus]
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Yeh, ah-ha
Yeh, ah-ha

[Verse 2]
When Bo Diddley come to town
The streets get empty and the sun go down
Sheriff's standing in the doorway
You know he's so scared to say

[Chorus]
Yeh, ah-ha
Yeh, ah-ha
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
