Diddle Wa Diddle - Blind Blake

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 hat 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
