Black Betty
Born in Opleika, Alabama, Black Betty bam-a-lam-a
Comin' through to deliver the goods
Always movin' around, too hard to track down
'Cause she's new to the neighborhood
She's alpha female, more than hot tail
Is she your number one?
She could be high class but she lives fast
You're young, dumb and full of fun
Is she your girlfriend? Is she your new romance
Now she's on your mind 90d the time
I heard that you took a chance
Is she your girlfriend? Is she good to have
When your under the weather can she make you feel better
Call her up when you're feelin' bad
Bam bam, bam-a-lam
Black Betty, go and get your man
Bam bam, bam-a-lam
Black Betty always gets her man
She drank a mixture, read a scripture
Now her picture is a fixture
And it's hanging up in your place
What kind of voodoo did she do
Who's watchin' who?
She's watchin' you with the look of love on her face
She's not your sister or your mother
Not a friend, is she your lover?
She's around when the party ends
And she's gots lots to love
I saw you give her a hug
Is she your girl? She your girlfriend
Is she your girlfriend? I heard she gets around
You know, you better get ready hold stead
Black Betty's in town and she's comin' down
Is she your girlfriend or is she movin' on?
Behind the curtain, caught you flirtin'
Now your certain to be hurtin'
Once the player now you're the pawn
Bam, bam
Comin' through to deliver the goods
Always movin' around, too hard to track down
'Cause she's new to the neighborhood
She's alpha female, more than hot tail
Is she your number one?
She could be high class but she lives fast
You're young, dumb and full of fun
Is she your girlfriend? Is she your new romance
Now she's on your mind 90d the time
I heard that you took a chance
Is she your girlfriend? Is she good to have
When your under the weather can she make you feel better
Call her up when you're feelin' bad
Bam bam, bam-a-lam
Black Betty, go and get your man
Bam bam, bam-a-lam
Black Betty always gets her man
She drank a mixture, read a scripture
Now her picture is a fixture
And it's hanging up in your place
What kind of voodoo did she do
Who's watchin' who?
She's watchin' you with the look of love on her face
She's not your sister or your mother
Not a friend, is she your lover?
She's around when the party ends
And she's gots lots to love
I saw you give her a hug
Is she your girl? She your girlfriend
Is she your girlfriend? I heard she gets around
You know, you better get ready hold stead
Black Betty's in town and she's comin' down
Is she your girlfriend or is she movin' on?
Behind the curtain, caught you flirtin'
Now your certain to be hurtin'
Once the player now you're the pawn
Bam, bam
