Black Betty by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
(Leadbelly)
A traditional version is also available.
Look-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done goneThe captain can't hold her (3x)
The way I do nowAda got a gold mine (3x)
Way above her kneesThe shiv (?) is golden (3x)
Above her kneesLook-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done goneWohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)
Damn thing was crazy, bam-e-lam (2x)
Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Oh, Betty Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)

Black Betty didn't mind, bam-e-lam (2x)
Damn thing was blind, bam-e-lam (2x)
Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Jump steady Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)That Monday, I was arrested

On Thursday, nobody could blow my bailYes, I'm almost done (3x)
And I ain't gonna yell against no bellsOn Monday, baby I went a-walking

On Wednesday I sat down a-talking
On Thursday she hock all a my clothesYes, I'm almost done (3x)
And I ain't gonna .... no more
