"Black Betty" was originally an old blues song by the famous blues vocalist Huddie Ledbetter ("Ledbelly"). The hit rock version by Ram Jam could refer to several things-- some sources claim it refers to Black Tar Heroin, but others note the sexual references in the song; there is evidence that Black Betty could refer to a black woman, who even though she was unfaithful, is still someone the singer desires.
