Eric Burdon - Bo Diddley Special Lyrics
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If the women don't get you Bo Diddley must
We were two ships passing in the night
But we never did meet eye to eye
This is my way of saying goodbye
So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
He spent his life with his guitar slung real low
Digging that polongo beat wherever he'd go
From the streets of Mississippi all the way to Tokyo
The most African American I ever did know
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
Goodbye Bo Diddley goodbye so long
We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on
Goodbye Bo Diddley, I guess I waited too long
Goodbye Bo Diddley, goodbye
So I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
Bo Diddley came roarin' into my life
Like a big freight train rolling through the night
I never will forget the day he came to my hometown
He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down
Goodbye Bo Diddley, goodbye so long
We all gonna miss you but your spirit lives on
Goodbye Bo Diddley
Goodbye Bo Diddley
Goodbye Bo Diddley so long
Yeah, I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
Now let me tell you what was so special about Bo Diddley
He had a hand like a plate of fish and chips
He dressed in the most romantic style
With a tartan jacket and pin stripe polyester pants
All the way down the aisle
He rode his motor scooter around Clearwater, Florida
With his guitar on his back
You know it was square and it was red
And the last thing was the first thing he ever said – he said
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line
As the cortege stepped out into the night
All the best young dudes dressed in white
A city bus came rolling by Destination: Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley special
I'm riding on that Bo Diddley line...

Can't get this one out of my head. Eric Burdon is the man! Took a whole new perspective on him after hearing him 2 weeks ago in Detroit at Andiamo's. Highly recommend you go see him if you like soul, the blues and rock'n'roll. He has mellowed like a fine wine. If you wait, it may be too late.
respect to Eric Burdon he nows who was really special
1:32 such a awesome man! In your 70s and still be cool with a hoody on your head and sunglasses on. 😎
So good!!!!
I'm at the beginning? Why?
very nice, thx
Su mirada delata de que se acuerda de muy buenos tiempos. Goza su música y yo también.
Keep rockin' Eric!!!
great tribute
I love just about everything Mr. Burdon does!!!!
You have always been a beast mate, keep it up.
love the tribute to those who showed us all the way.
Plus, this is a great song!! The usual expressive vocals and some damn good guitar work!!
This is a great video...
