Notes

First recorded by Bo Diddley on 8th February 1957 at the Beltone Studios in New York during the same session as the first recording of Mona. The two songs were first issued on the same single in 1957.

Writing credits on records are Ellas McDaniel, real name of Bo Diddley. Often appears incorrectly on recordings and elsewhere as Ellis McDaniels or other variation.

The version of the song on the Jerry Garcia box set All Good Things is a previously unreleased outtake from the 1975 Reflections recording sessions.
