Someone spilled blood many years ago



someone spilled blood but do you know



that from the backwoods



where the Chuck Berrys grow



come your long tall



daddies of a rock and roll







Take me to your backwoods now



take me to your backwoods now







Spinning' down from the clouds



like a tornado



spinnin' out of control



like a psychedelic soul



with a rhythm hittin' harder



than Larry Holmes



come your long tall



daddies of rock and roll







Take me to your backwoods now



take me to your backwoods now







Mr. Uplift Mofo - my man Bo Diddley



hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple



play the lickity split finger licking licks



for all you wicked city slick chicks







and all you nitty gritty hick



we'll make your nipples ripple



make you wanna dip your dipple



make you wanna soak your hickory stick



because my man has a grip on it



and I do mean on it



which brings to mind



a very sinister minister kind of guy



a man named Little Richard



born to make them bitches stir



that's right he'll make the sweet substance drip



from the middle of your hillbilly lips



and like the farmer milk his cow



the Howling Wolf will howl



and since times does allow



you all can







Take me to your backwoods now



Take me to your backwoods now



Take me to your backwoods now
