Black Betty lyrics

This is TJ, dedicating this song to Leadbelly

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Shes from Birmingham, bambalam

Way down in Alabama, bambalam

The way she shake that thing, bambalam

Oh she make me sing, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

She really get me high, bambalam

You know thats no lie, bambalam

Shes so rock steady, bambalam

Oh shes always ready, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Black Betty had a child, bambalam

She swears its mine, bambalam

She must be out of her mind, bambalam

She must think I'm blind, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Oh Black Betty, bambalam

Monday she got me arrested

On Tuesday up in jail

Wednesday my trail was attested

Thursday she posted my bail

Friday we went walking

Saturday I was outta my door

On Sunday we was talkin

Back on Monday she pawned all my clothes

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Shes from Birmingham, bambalam

Way down in Alabama, bambalam

The way she shake that thing, bambalam

Oh she make me sing, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

She really get me high, bambalam

You know thats no lie, bambalam

Shes so rock steady, bambalam

Oh shes always ready, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

Whooooa Black Betty!
