NURSERY RHYME
(Ellas McDaniel)
My sister's name is Puudin' Tame,
They asked if she would stay the same,
My brother's name is Little Jack Horner,
My mama asked to watch to heat warm them.
Sister told papa when he got home,
Papa, papa, he sassed and moaned,
Papa looked at brother, far in his eyes,
Brother started on thr handjive.
He called sister, and he called mom,
Said, "Look here, look here, what's this going on?"
Everybody had a real surprise,
But brother had tears in his eyes.
Brother's so scared he couldn't walk,
Papa's afraid he could not talk.
I LOVE YOU SO
(Ellas McDaniel)
Oh, I, I, I, baby, I love you so,
You know, you know, I love you so.
All my life I been lovin' you,
Sometimes I wonder, baby, what you're gonna do.
You told me honey, that our love's unreal,
I can't be with you 'cos you won't be filled.
You keep tellin' all our closest friends,
That you were with me from the very beginin',
I, I, yeah, I love you so.
In the morning, it's alright,
In the evening, it's still alright,
In the night, it's alright,
Where you be, it's still alright.
I, I, love you
Bo Diddley, pseudonimo di Ellas Otha Bates McDaniel (1928-2008), è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e compositore statunitense considerato una figura fondamentale nella nascita del rock and roll. Nato in Mississippi, Bo Diddley si trasferì a Chicago negli anni '50, dove iniziò a suonare nei club blues. Il suo stile musicale era caratterizzato da ritmi energici, riff di chitarra distintivi e testi spesso ironici e provocatori. Il suo successo arrivò nel 1955 con il singolo "Bo Diddley", che divenne un inno del rock and roll. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo anche "I'm a Man", "Who Do You Love?" e "Mona." Bo Diddley ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti, dal blues al punk rock. La sua musica è stata reinterpretata da artisti come The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix e Bruce Springsteen.
