Bo Diddley - Ride on Josephine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Ride on Josephine, ride on[x2]
Ride on Josephine, you got a running machine
A-baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby ride on

[Verse 1]
Well, Josephine driving a hot rod Ford
Twin carburator will eat up the road
Twin exhaust sticking out the rear
Something that will really take away from here

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Josephine's Ford begin to run hot
She tried to trade it in at a used car lot
The man couldn't believe his natural eyes
When she pulled it in to his drive

[Chorus]
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Say, Josephine!
(Ride on Josephine, ride on)
Josephine, child yoUR tank is leaking gas!
(Ride on Josephine, ride on)

[Bridge]
Say what?
Baby, you better shut up and come on ride with me
Ye-aah, you better ride with me

[Verse 3]
You say I better mind my business?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
You got business baby, you, you good business!
I just lo-oo-oo-ve good business! (it's show good)
(Oh, yeah)
You say, what kind of car I driving? (maroon '40 Ford)
Well, I-I'm a
I'm driving a '48 Cadillac
With Thunderbird wings
Telling you baby, that's a running thing
I got wings that'll open
And get her in the air
I think I can take it away from here

[Chorus]
A-ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine
Child, you got a running machine
A-baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby ride on

[Outro]
Well, I bl, bl, believe you, baby
Because you-a, you-a, you aren't, been flagged
He-he
I'm going
Goodbye!
