Who is black betty about?
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.
What song titles have Betty in them?
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!
Who wrote black betty?
Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter.
Who did the remake of Black Betty song?
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
