Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On that farm he had some women (hey Bo Diddley)
Women here, women there (hey Bo Diddley)
Women, women, women everywhere (hey Bo Diddley)
But one little girl lived on a hill (hey Bo Diddley)
She rustled and tussled like Buffalo Bill (hey Bo Diddley)
One day she decided she'd go for a ride (hey Bo Diddley)
She rolled right up to my front door (hey Bo Diddley)
Knocked an' knocked 'til her fist got sore (hey Bo Diddley)
When she turned and walked away (hey Bo Diddley)
All I could hear my baby say (hey Bo Diddley)
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Saw my baby run across the field (hey Bo Diddley)
Slippin' and slidin' like an automobile (hey Bo Diddley)
Hollerin', my baby got towed away (hey Bo Diddley)
Slipped on from me like a Cadillac-8 (hey Bo Diddley)
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, oh Bo Diddley
The lyrics to A'com.bo's song Me To My I seem to be inspired by the rhythm and rhymes of the classic Bo Diddley song, "I'm a Man." However, the lyrics take a different direction by describing a woman, who is referred to as a "little girl," and her escapades. The song talks about Bo Diddley's farm filled with women, but specifically mentions one woman who lives on a hill and is described as being rough and tough like Buffalo Bill. This woman decides to go for a ride, carrying a pistol and sword, and stops at the singer's front door. When she walks away, the singer hears her call out to Bo Diddley. The second verse describes the woman running away from the singer across a field as if "slippin' and slidin' like an automobile."
It is unclear what the intended message of the song is, since some of the lyrics do not seem to make sense in context. For example, why is Bo Diddley's farm exclusively filled with women? And why does the singer hear the woman yell out Bo Diddley's name when she leaves? The song may simply be a playful take on the original Bo Diddley song, with the woman serving as a strong and independent character.
