Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone wild, bam-ba-lam
I worry outta my mind, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 2]
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
[Verse 3]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
She really gets me high, bam-ba-lam
You know thats no lie, bam-ba-lam
She's so rock steady, bam-ba-lam
And she's always ready, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 4]
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Black Betty jump steady, are you ready now?
[Verse 5]
Black betty, are you ready now?
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
She's from Birmingham, bam-ba-lam
Well, down in Alabam', bam-ba-lam
She's shakin' that thing, bam-ba-lam
She really makes me sing, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 6]
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
Hey, whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
[Verse 7]
Hey, whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, jump steady
Whoa, Black Betty, whoa, Black Betty
Jump steady, Black Betty, jump steady, Black Betty now
Hey, mmm
