Soil - Black Betty Lyrics






Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Black Betty had a child (bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone wild (bam-ba-lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (bam-ba-lam)
"The damn thing gone blind" (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Oh, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
She really gets me high (bam-ba-lam)
You know that's no lie (bam-ba-lam)
She's so rock steady (bam-ba-lam)
And she's always ready (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)

Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
She's from Birmingham (bam-ba-lam)
Way down in Alabam' (bam-ba-lam)
Well, she's shakin' that thing (bam-ba-lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black Betty

Bam-ba-lam

  15. E.... C....

    Garbage I hate when bands redo songs

    E.... C....

    Kinda ironic since this song was traced back to 1934 and it's origins are still unsure.

    E.... C....

  21. W.... L....

    awesome \m/

  22. D.... s....

    This RAMJAM Cover is still made with the former Leadsinger (Ryan McCombs)

    D.... s....

    @Dread Ox just saw them perform in Orlando, been a fan of SOiL since Scars and man this song got the crowd going, it's nice to see a band do a show for their fans, not their pockets.

    D.... s....

    @Prankadin Jenkins Yeah man, same here! Huge fan of theirs. They all nailed it but Ryan was just... so with it, if you know what I mean. His voice was awesome and his performance alone shone through all of the songs played. I'm so glad he rejoined SOiL and I cannot wait until they come back to the UK again. They receive great reception and support!! And yeah, you're right. They're wholly connected to us, the fans, and wouldn't just do it for one thing. They played Halo as their closing song, Ryan then suddenly appeared walking through our crowd!!

    D.... s....

    He did the same thing at edbd21.

    D.... s....

    +Dave The Reaper Ryan's back in the band now. Not sure if you knew

    D.... s....

    nailin palin I’m gonna stop you right there

  23. j.... v....

    thumbs up if you came here because of ram jam and not a video game..

    j.... v....

    the thing with the video game would rather be with the cover by spiderbait though

    j.... v....

    jeff vaughn Jup ram jam

    j.... v....

    What game is this in?

    j.... v....

    jeff vaughn shut the fuck up old man

    j.... v....

    @Stɹange You shut up before we gang bang your mom

  24. T.... W....

    Musica da Fase do Jogo Rayman Legends :D

  25. F.... ....

    Nope Spiderbait's is the best.

  26. M.... ....

    who cares when the comment was made? you still said it.

  27. M.... ....

    Yuck. Muddy no character, poor vocals, worse guitar tone...No guitar tone at all. Original had much more groove.

    M.... ....

    Shuddup Black Betty's child

  28. l.... ....

    DAMN NICE!

  29. D.... K....

    You can't really have the opinion that this song here is better than the original one, do you?

  30. M.... I....

    And, you replied to a comment that was posted 4 months ago. Why even bother? Our opinions differ, and it's as simple as that. God damn it, people on Youtube get butthurt over practically anything.

  31. D.... K....

    If one's opinion is empiric wrong, it's another ones business to correct it and make the false things right :)

  32. D.... K....

    Your comment is bad, and you should feel bad. This is wrong in so many ways!

  33. D.... H....

    I came here for SOiL :)

  34. J.... A....

    Ledbelly then Tom Jones then Ram Jam then Spiderbait then Ministry

  35. M.... I....

    Excuse me - But you seem oblivious to the fact that you replied on a comment, that was posted two years past.
    And second - I simply stated my OWN opinion.

  36. C.... T....

    lol Spiderbait totally sucked this song. And u cant even compare Ram Jam and Soil.

  37. S.... ....

    Holy shit... that was AWESOME

  38. M.... I....

    Okay : 1 - You replied to a two year old comment.
    2 - Ram Jam is just not to my liking. Deal with it.

  39. C.... ....

    Black Betty ROCKS llnnll

  40. S.... ....

    Q Foda =)

  41. V.... ....

    or NFSU1,2

  42. V.... ....

    Who came here from NFSMW?

  43. L.... L....

    How fun!

  44. W.... ....

    I like all versions..... but this is the most badass!!

  45. y.... ....

    i guess the main point is that black betty is pure awesomeness, no matter who plays the song :)

  46. n.... ....

    Ram Jam's version has the perfect tempo so you can understand the singer better, but Soil's version has THE BEST guitar and drum solos. The guitar work here runs circles around Ram Jam in my opinion. The only thing that could top this (and it's not easy to do) is if Van Halen covered this song.

  47. k.... b....

    Ministry: best version

  48. M.... ....

    @SOADfreakable spiderbait got the guitar thingy but soil got the voice ..and me I like this version lil better .simple cover and all.. spider seems like could got better than is

  49. C.... ....

    @mustavios he is doing that atm lol hes back for like 3-4 months now...

  50. A.... L....

    Ryan, can you please drop DP, take back SOiL and have one last great tour?

  51. i.... ....

    seeing them tonight (:

  52. S.... P....

    Picture here is wrong sadly and doesnt Show Ryan :( But amazing Song, always been my favourite band, saw them live the other day with Ryan on Tour in the Uk, Best night of my life :D

  53. w.... ....

    Favorite cover of this song...it's not very often I can say I like a cover more than the original but BAM-A-LAM!!!!

  54. g.... ....

    fuck yeah awesome @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  55. g.... ....

    @SOADfreakable me too but and this is very cool

  56. O.... ....

    i tihnk the version of spiderbait is better

  57. W.... ....

    I love how the picture is of the band with AJ Cavalier (current vocalist)... when this song was recorded when Ryan McComb was still in the band... still a great version of the song!

  58. b.... ....

    hmmm, I dont know wether its my ears or just my opinion, but i dont think they suit this music if you get me...... :/

  59. Q.... ....

    best . cover. EVVVERR !!!:D

  60. A.... O....

    when i can find the guitar pro tab of this song??

  61. s.... ....

    where can i download dis song i cant find it anywhere

  62. 3.... ....

    This cover is far from the best.

  63. F.... ....

    Ram Jam and Spiderbait did the best cover, but overall I liked Ram Jam better

  64. Q.... ....

    @MRSupernova100 Wtf Ram Jam did the best cover, i bet you even Soil would agree, fuck dude Ram Jam kicked ass, that's EXACTLY why he is singing in that specific dialect, why else would he? He's trying to pull off a cool cover of Ram Jams. Ram Jam just.. fucking rocks.

  65. S.... S....

    I like the original drum Part more than this one.... although the guitar part is way better than the original one \m/

  66. C.... ....

    Ram Jam didn't originally do the song; it was an old African-American work song. So it's not really a "Ram Jam" cover... it's a cover of a cover.

  67. M.... I....

    @seventrebec blasphemist

  68. s.... ....

    @MRSupernova100 ram jam: epic
    spiderbait: okay
    soil: good cover ;)

  69. M.... I....

    the best version...
    Ram Jam: not really...
    Spiderbait: could work...
    Soil: AWESOMESAUCE doesn't even cover it...

  70. U.... ....

    this cover kicks assas
