Ram Jam did a song called Black Betty in the late 70's, something like:

Wo-o Black Betty, bambalam
W-oo Black Betty, bambalam
Black Betty had a child, bambalam
the damn thing gone wild, bambalam

Like the others said it's Ram Jam.

Black Betty was sung by RAM JAM. Here are the lyrics:

"Black Betty" - RAM JAM

Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.
Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.

Black Betty had a child, bam a lam.
The damn thing gone wild, bam a lam.
Said it weren't none o' mine, bam a lam.
The damn thing gone blind, bam a lam.

Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.
Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.

She's from Birmingham, bam a lam.
Way down in Alabam', bam a lam.
She's so rock steady, bam a lam.
And she's always ready, bam a lam.

Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.
Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.

She really gets me high, bam a lam.
You know that's no lie, bam a lam.
She really makes me sing, bam a lam.
When she shake that thing, bam a lam.

Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.
Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam.


Greetings from Germany
