exb9sx needs to let that glass pipe cool.....kountreepimp, Black Betty was a tune that Leadbelly wrote and recorded back in the '20's. he also wrote and recorded a few tunes that were hate whitey tunes but I wouldn't be offended if someone recorded them.

everytime i hear that song i imagine johnny depp with long blonde hair and sunglasses

this is good for black ops zombies

ik this song

@kountreepimp38 You like the Rollin' Stones Brown Sugar? I know that Black Betty is an old blues tune (check the right side -->). It may have had a different meaning when it was first written.

4 minutes guitar solo with vocal bridge (:

the defenders^^

@ProOfEvolution is ja nicht schlimm!! THX

@Honden Yeah the original is from leadbelly.

@FabianZocker17 1:50 to 3:28 is the best part!

@derbeste93 are you talkin about the dude on the left with long hair or the one with the MUSTACHE?

@kountreepimp38 it's ok to like it . back in the day....... black betty was speed. it came in little black pills. no race involved. not to condone drug use.

sounds transposed to a different key

Try eating a bowl of cereal to this song. Without any milk

@mortartin one person didnt get the thumbs-up he wanted.

@derbeste93 thats a mustache

What song

@ 1:57 wtf is with the picture?

BLACK PUTY XDDDD

LeadBelly wasn't the original. In 1928 LeadBelly heard it from a man in prison and he went on to publish it staking claim to the song. He later admitted it. Ram Jam done a better job than anyone..

@Bibsiii1 welche werbung?

@787310 Haha I don't care about the thumbs :p I am actually trying to lame em out of the system. It just turned up all of a sudden ^^
