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.
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!
