*************EDIT:

The original Skynyrd, with Ronnie Van Zant as the main vocalist, never recorded Black Betty. It is possible they covered the song, as it was popular back then, but it was not released on any of their albums. Somebody listed Black Betty as being done by Skynyrd on Limewire, but this version was not them.

As for the Tribute Band (or, Current Lynyrd Skynyrd), I don't know, but there is no album entitled "Private 2", so the guy that typed what's up there was wrong. As well, Skynyrd is not a "He", it was a band (Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, Allen Collins, Gary Rossingon, Steve Gaines/Ed King on guitar, Leon Wilkeson on bass, and Artimus Pyle/Bob Burns on drums).

************** IMPROVEMENT:

The song that's on Limewire and claims to be Lynyrd Skynyrd is a group called Ram Jet that recorded the song in 1977 and released as the first trach on their album "Ram Jet".

NOT LYNYRD SKYNYRD

"Black Betty" is a traditional African American folk song, but the most famous version was recorded by the band Ram Jam in 1977. The royalties for this version would primarily go to the songwriters credited for that arrangement, which includes Allen Collins and James "Black Betty" McCoy.
