Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)

The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)

She said: I'm worryin' outta mind " (Bam-ba-Lam)

The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)

I said: Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

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)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam)

Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-Lam)

Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-Lam)

Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty

BAM-BA-LAM
