BO DIDDLEY lyrics - Dearest Darling

(Ellas McDaniel a. k.a. Bo Diddley)



Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling



Don't you know, the Lord above, created you, just for me to love

Picked you out, from all the rest, because he knew I loved you best



Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand



I once had a heart, so trill and true

But now it's gone, from me to you

Take care of it, like I have done

For you have two hearts, and I have none



Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling



If I get to heaven, before you do

I'll try to make a hole, and pull you thru



Dearest, dearest. dearest.



If I go to heaven, and you not there,

I'm gonna write your name, on the heavenly stair

If you aren't there, by turn of day,

Then I know baby, you know the way



Dearest, dearest, dearest

O sweet baby, o sweet baby...
