Blind Blake - Diddie wa Diddie

There's a great big mystery
and it sure is worryin' me
it's Diddie Wa Diddie,
it's Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

That little girl 'bout four feet four
go on poppa n' and gimme some more
of the old Diddie Wa Diddie
the old 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 are 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 sittin' 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
cuz 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
