Spoken:
2
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
3
If the women don't get you Bo Diddley must
4
We were two ships passing in the night
5
But we never did meet eye to eye
6
I was given this gift without asking
7
This is my way of saying goodbye
8
So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
9
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
10
He spent his life with his guitar slung real low
11
Digging that polongo beat wherever he'd go
12
From the streets of Mississippi all the way to Tokyo
13
The most African American I ever did know
14
So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
15
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
16
Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye so long
17
We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on
18
Goodbye Bo Diddley, I guess I waited too long
19
Goodbye Bo Diddley, goodbye
20
So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
21
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
22
Bo Diddley came roarin' into my life
23
Like a big freight train rolling through the night
24
I never will forget the day he came to my hometown
25
He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down
26
Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye so long
27
We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on
28
Goodbye Bo Diddley
29
Goodbye Bo Diddley Goodbye Bo Diddley so long
30
Yeah I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
31
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
32
Spoken: Now let me tell you what was so special about Bo Diddley
33
He had a hand like a plate of fish and chips
34
He dressed in the most romantic style
35
With a tartan jacket and pin stripe polyester pants
36
All the way down the aisle
37
He rode his motor scooter around Clearwater, Florida
38
With his guitar on his back
39
You know it was square and it was red
40
And the last thing was the first thing he ever said "“ he said
41
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
42
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
43
As the cortege stepped out into the night
44
All the best young dudes dressed in white
45
A city bus came rolling by Destination: Bo Diddley special
46
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
47
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line (Repeat)
