Monday she got me arrested,
On Tuesday up in jail,

Thursday she posted my bail,
Friday we went walking,
Saturday I was outta my door,
On Sunday we was talkin,
Back on Monday she pawned all my clothes

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

The way she shake that thing, bambalam
Oh she make me sing, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

She really get me high, bambalam
You know thats no lie, bambalam
She's so rock steady, bambalam
Oh shes always ready, bambalam

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam
Whoa Black Betty, bambalam
Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

This is about a negro girl named Betty that Tom had dated in highschool. Sadly she died in a combine accident on her fathers farm. Tom never recovered.

What the hell are you talking about? 1) It's a cover. 2) He grew up in Wales, and there were surprisingly few combine harvester related accidents there.

PS I hate Tom Jones.

Cover art for Black Betty lyrics by Tom Jones

maybe he covered it BC he dated a black girl.. who was possibly named betty? Or maybe it wasn't her name w/e great song either way.

But&Memo have the best rendition (other than the original), but I can't get this site to add 'em. It's a fun song regardless. She's a wild one and she gets him high. Don't need many lines with the energy of this great track. It's one of my all-time favorites.
