DIDDLEY DADDY
(Ellas Otha Bates (aka songwriter Ellas McDaniell aka Bo Diddley)/Harvey Fuqua)(rewritten lyrics of a Billy Boy Arnold composition)

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (4x)

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (4x)

I got a baby that's oh so pretty
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
I found her out here in the windy city
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
somebody kissed my baby last night
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
my pretty baby doncha you know they're born right
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (4x)

- Brian Jones' guitar solo

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (4x)

my pretty baby started to cry in vain
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
said: "Mick, honey child, you're a natural born man"
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
I love you baby with all my heart
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
please don't ever say we'll apart
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (2x)

honey child, honey child, yes I say
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)
I wanna know if you do love me
(diddy diddy dum, dum dum di-diddy)

diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy (4x)

The only true lyrics are here, and no where else on the web.
(As a matter of fact, they're all lazy copycats, even copying a type mismatch in line 11
(which is also the wrong text: My baby said " Junior that's all right". They all have the extra space between the quotation mark and the word Junior).
"My pretty baby doncha you know they're born right" is the true text, as far as I understand.
