Looky, Looky Yonder / Black Betty / Yellow Women's Doorbells Songtext
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
The cap′in' (captain) can′t hold 'em (him or them)
Cap'in′ can′t hold 'em
Cap′in' can′t hold 'em
The way I do.
Yes Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Way above her knee.
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
Walking
Walking
Walking
All day long.
Been talking
Been talking
Been talking
Babe, all day long.
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
Oh Black Betty, Bam da lam
Oh Black Betty, Bam da lam
Black Betty had a baby, Bam da lam
Black Betty had a baby, Bam da lam
Damn thing gone crazy, Bam da lam
Damn thing gone crazy, Bam da lam
Oh Black Betty, Bam da lam

Oh baby Black Betty, Bam da lam
Oh baby Black Betty, Bam da lam

Damn thing gone crazy, Bam da lam
Damn thing gone crazy, Bam da lam
Baby wasn′t none of mine, Bam da lam
Baby wasn't none of mine, Bam da lam
Damn thing gone blind, Bam da lam
Damn thing gone blind, Bam da lam
Yeah Black Betty, Bam da lam
Whoa Black Betty, Bam da lam

Looky here, Black Betty, Bam da lam
Looky here, Black Betty, Bam da lam
Jump steady, Black Betty, Bam da lam
Jump steady, Black Betty, Bam da lam
Last Monday, baby I was arrested
On Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
On Wednesday, my child was attested
On Thursday, here's some mo′
Almost done, here′s some mo'(more)
Almost done, here′s some mo'
Almost done, And I ain′t gonna, ain't done, Last Monday, baby I went a′walking
On Tuesday, I shot me a'dog
On Wednesday, we was sittin' down a′talking
On Thursday, she pawned all of my clothes
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
The cap′in' (captain) can′t hold 'em (him or them)
Cap'in′ can′t hold 'em
Cap′in' can′t hold 'em
The way I do.
Yes Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Addie gotta gold mine
Way above her knee.
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
Walking
Walking
Walking
All day long.
Been talking
Been talking
Been talking
Babe, all day long.
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Looky looky yonder
Where the sun done gone.
