Black Betty
Black Betty had a baby
Black Betty had a baby
And the damn thing's crazy
I said the damn thing's crazy
Well she stuck his head in gravy—
Squirrel head gravy
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Well the baby had blue eyes
I said the baby had blue eyes
Well she weren't none of mine
Damn thing gone blind
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Black Betty's got a new man
Black Betty's got a new man
Ain't no flesh upon his cold hand
Ain't no flesh upon his cold hand
Black Betty, where you going?
Black Betty, where you going?
Well I come from somewhere
& I'm going to nowhere
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Black Betty, what's your number?
Black Betty, what's your number?
Well it's a 30-30, it's a 30-30
Bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a baby
And the damn thing's crazy
I said the damn thing's crazy
Well she stuck his head in gravy—
Squirrel head gravy
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Well the baby had blue eyes
I said the baby had blue eyes
Well she weren't none of mine
Damn thing gone blind
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Black Betty's got a new man
Black Betty's got a new man
Ain't no flesh upon his cold hand
Ain't no flesh upon his cold hand
Black Betty, where you going?
Black Betty, where you going?
Well I come from somewhere
& I'm going to nowhere
Oh lord, Black Betty
Oh lord, Black Betty
Black Betty, what's your number?
Black Betty, what's your number?
Well it's a 30-30, it's a 30-30
Bam-ba-lam
