Blind Blake — Diddie Wah Diddie lyrics

Lyrics

There’s a great big mystery, and it sure is worrying me
This Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
The little girl about four feet four, come on papa and give me some more
Of your Diddie Wa Diddie, Your Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I went out and walked around, somebody yelled, said
«Look who’s in town»
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Went to church, put my hand on the seat, lady sat on it said, «Daddy,
you sure is sweet»
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I said, «Sister, I’ll soon be gone, just gimme that thing you sitting on»
My Diddie Wa Diddie, My Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Then I got put out of church, 'cause I talk about Diddie Wa Diddie too much
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
