And the lyrics:

<Verse>:

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

<Chorus>:

Take me to your backwoods now

Take me to your backwoods now

<Verse>:

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

<Chorus>:

Take me to your backwoods now

take me to your backwoods now

<Interlude>

Take me to your backwoods now

Take me to your backwoods now

yeah!

<Solo>

<Verse>:

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

<Chorus>:

Take me to your backwoods now (X4)

<Play nothing>:

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
