There are many theories but I have heard that a "Black Betty" was a flint-lock musket with a black painted stock. In the song "bam-ba-lam" refers to the sound of the gunfire. And her child is kills she made. But Black Betty is an old African American slave song so who really knows. Other Theories Black Betty is a Black Chick... Black Betty is a VD... Black Betty is the stocks that misbehaving slaves where taken to be shot at.
I have researched this topic, thinking myself that ZZ Top did record Black Betty, but I found that ZZ Top never has recorded it. There are 14 studio albums, 6 compilation albums and 42 singles by ZZ Top and none of them have Black Betty as a recorded track. The Band Ram Jam released the song Black Betty on their album Ram Jam in 1977 track # 1, it was their best known song. The songs Original Artist is James ( Iron Head ) Baker. Recorded by Iron Head, Huddie ( Lead Belly ) Ledbetter, Ram Jam, Manfred Mann, Ministry, Spiderbait, Meat Loaf and Soil.
Off the top of my head, Back Seat Betty by Miles Davis, Betty by Taylor Swift, Betty Boop by Charlie Puth, Black Betty by Ram Jam, and Pretty Betty by Bobby Darin. Hope this helps!
Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter.
black betty was originally written by a soul singer named muddy ledbeter in 1918 about a black cleaner. it was then covered by ram jam in the 60's and was almost banned as it was considered racist (which is ironic as it was written by a black man about a black woman) it was covered yet again by spiderbait around 2005-06
AC/DC did not write/record Black Betty, Ram Jam did.'Black Betty' LEADBELLY, Blues Legend :-))
Blackfoot did not ever record Black Betty, it was recorded by Iron Head, Manfred Mann, Lead Belly, Ram Jam, Spider Bait, Throttlerod, Meatloaf, and Soil.
Not Sugarloaf. Ram Jam in 1977.
The band Ram Jam released the song Black Betty in June of 1977. It is found on the B-side of their album 'I Should Have Known'. This single was a hit for the band and is the song often associated with them.

If you are talking about Black Betty then its Spiderbait
Black Betty was by Ram Jam. As far as I know, that's the earliest recorded version.
