I Was Born In A Barrel Of Butcher Knives
Trouble I Love And Peace I Despise
Wild Horses Kicked Me In My Side
Then A Rattlesnake Bit Me And He Walked Off And Died.
I was born in a barrel of butcher knives
Trouble I love and peace I despise
Wild horses kicked me in my side
Then a rattlesnake bit me and he walked off and died.
-- Bo Diddley
When I think about myself,
I almost laugh myself to death
My life has been one great big joke, Sixty years in these folks' world
A dance that's walked The child I works for calls me girl
A song that's spoke, I say "Yes ma'am" for working's sake....
I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lip
I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips,
My joy would be complete, dear, if you were only here,
But still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir....
