****************************
And the lyrics:
:
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
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
yeah!
:
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 (X4)
:
AAAAAAAAh,take me to your backwoods
****************************
It's my work.Do not steal it!Rate it!And play it:Turn the amp on,and rock out
with your **** out!
Yaneey from the backwoods
