Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Black Betty had a child, bam-a-lam,
The damn thing gone wild, bam-a-lam,
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind", bam-a-lam,
The damn thing gone blind, bam-a-lam,
I said, "Oh, Black Betty", bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam.
Oh, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
She really gets me high, bam-a-lam,
You know that's no lie, bam-a-lam,
She's so rock steady, bam-a-lam,
And she's always ready, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam.
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
She's from Birmingham, bam-a-lam,
Way down in Alabam', bam-a-lam,
Well, she's shakin' that thing, bam-a-lam,
Boy, she makes me sing, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-lam,
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-a-laaam.
