My favorite Bo Diddley song.  Lyrics by (who else?) Willie Dixon, who also plays bass.

*************

“Oh, can’t you see

Oh, You’ve misjudged me.

I look like a farmer, but I’m a lover

You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover.”

Don’t know why I haven’t heard more of this song.  It’s timeless, and it’s Willie Dixon.

You can crush any country in a matter of weeks

But it don’t make sense, you can’t make peace.

These crazy women they voted ‘em out.”

When the Democrats get back in again….”
