Look-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done gone


The captain can't hold her (3x)
The way i do now


Ada got a gold mine (3x)
Way above her knees


The shiv (?) is golden (3x)
Above her knees


Look-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done gone


Wohoh, 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)
Damn thing was crazy, 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)

Jump steady black betty, bam-e-lam (2x)


That monday, i was arrested
Tuesday, i locked up in jail
Wednesday baby, my trial's tested
On thursday, nobody could blow my bail


Yes, i'm almost done (3x)
And i ain't gonna yell against no bells


On monday, baby i went a-walking

On wednesday i sat down a-talking
On thursday she hock all a my clothes


Yes, i'm almost done (3x)
And i ain't gonna .... no more
