Frequently Asked Questions...
What is the song Black Betty (covered and recorded by many artists, including Ram Jam) about?
I've been told it's about a horse but as I've done my research, I've found more and more resources stating that it is about a woman.
Does anyone know for sure?
Answer:
"Black Betty" is a 20th century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material; in this case an 18th century marching cadence about a flint-lock rifle.
Recorded by Iron Head, Manfred Mann, Lead Belly, Ram Jam, Ministry, Spiderbait, Throttlerod, Meat Loaf, Soil
