Black Betty Lyrics:
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)
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
Spiderbait with Black Betty
Did you know the original Black Betty was written in 1933?
The song was first recorded in the field by US musicologists John and Alan Lomax in December 1933, performed a cappella by the convict James "Iron Head" Baker and a group at Central State Farm, Sugar Land, Texas (a State prison farm). Baker was 63 years old at the time of the recording.

When I first heard the original version by Ram Jam on the radio as an 11 year old in 1977 it was unlike anything I'd heard before, I called it the 'wild'song because of the 'wild guitar' ...well it sure ain't as wild as this!... f****** great!
@laupernut Жыл бұрын
The original recorded version was by Leadbelly, recorded in the 1930s by John Lomax. Leadbelly sings while only clapping out the beat. A song from the cotton fields that's drifted with the times.

@paulturner7628 fascinating..it turns out that the song goes back even further than that as it was originally a folk song and there's also a version by Starstruck which still featured Bill Bartlett, I've finally learned the Ram Jam version on guitar 46 years after first hearing it.

Who would of thought this is what we would get from the original 1933 recording of James" Iron Head" Baker. This is the best version in my opinion but Ram jams still holds up well. Whoever produced this video is a genius. The concepts are great! But the filming is insane! Talk about capturing the perfect angles and bringing the speed of this song to life!!!

I can imagine getting a permit from the police to have a drummer with his drum kit being videoed on a trailer being towed through public streets. But then, knowing the band, they probably didn't bother. "O.K. We've got to do this in one take or else we might attract the wrong kind of attention."

My best mate here in NZ had a flat black EH Holden with a 149 in it, named it Black Betty, Held together with number 8 wire and with a brokin engine mount that when you went over 60 mph would fall off the engine mount and jam open the throttle, fun times back in the day.
