Lyrics

[Intro]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 1]
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing got wild, bam-ba-lam
She said, "I'm worried, outta mind," bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 2]
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing got wild, bam-ba-lam
She said, "I'm worried, outta mind," bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 3]
She really gets me high, bam-ba-lam
You know that's no lie, bam-ba-lam
She's so rock-steady, bam-ba-lam
And she's always ready, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 4]
She's from Birmingham, bam-ba-lam
Way down in Alabam', bam-ba-lam
When she shake that thing, bam-ba-lam
Boy, she makes me sing, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 5]
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing got wild, bam-ba-lam
She said, "I'm worried, outta mind," bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 6]
She really gets me high, bam-ba-lam
You know that's no lie, bam-ba-lam
She's so rock-steady, bam-ba-lam
And she's always ready, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Verse 7]
Back from Birmingham, bam-ba-lam
Way down in Alabam', bam-ba-lam
When she shake that thing, bam-ba-lam
Boy, she makes me sing, bam-ba-lam
[Outro]
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
