Black Betty Songtext
von Uncle Sinner

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
