Does anyone have a referrence? Pustelnik 20:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC) Nazareth? I seem to remember them doing it as well, with strobe lights. I did a quick web search and could not find it on a Skynyrd discography.
I'll remove it until a citation can be supplied. Insaneassassin247 23:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Īnon user added Lynyrd Skynyrd again to list. Nope take that back.the version that is often labeled as Lynard Skynard is actually Ram Jam. Yeah I'm pretty sure it was covered by Lynard Skynard! Insaneassassin247 23:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Wasn't 'black betty' also covered by Lynard Skynard? Pustelnik ( talk) 03:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC) īennies is drug slang for Benzedrine, and Black Beauties is drug slang for amphetamines, so part of the confusion may lie there. When the song was collected at Sugarland, heroin was white, and a brand name for di-acetyl morphine. It pre-dates black tar heroin by 30 or 40 years, at least. I came here to check it out and thought it was strange there was no reference to drugs at all in the wiki article. This was the first thing that came to my mind when thinking about the meaning of the song and I've also heard several other people talk about the song assuming that it was referring to black tar heroine. (exact repetitions removed) Oh Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Black Betty had a baby, bam-ba-lam Damn thing gone crazy, bam-ba-lam Baby wasn't none of mine, bam-ba-lam Damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam Yeah Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Whoa Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Looky here, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Jump steady, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Drugs ĭoes black betty have any drug connotations? Heroin, Hash, etc, something blackish? I don't see how are about anything but a literal woman, her baby and the singer disowning the baby: "The breyde Johnny Dalton's h'sh dowter, And Betty was weel to be seen." -Preceding unsigned comment added by MicheleFloyd ( talk Poem by Cumberland bard Robert Anderson circa 1700s: "As morning approached a bottle of Black Betty was sent to revive the bride and groom and the merriment continued, sometimes for several days.

#CARAVAN PALACE BLACK BETTY FREE DOWNLOAD UPDATE#
Any one who knows what it's about care to update the page? Eps 0136 13, July 2006 (GMT)Īs can be seen in their video, they have kept some of the original lyric but otherwise have added some and transferred Betty as the woman, or the wagon, to a chopped black hot rod deuce coupe. Okay so we have a well researched page with lots of history.Thought there is no mention at all of what the song is about? Came here yesterday to get a bit more background about the song, spiderbait can be a bit hard to understand, and there was nothing. Please provide a link to a reputable source to back your claim.- Design ( talk) 10:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC) meaning You are entirely incorrect, so I have reinstated the article. I Googled, I searched, I went to ZZ Tops's website and checked their discography. THEY RECORDED THE MOST POPULAR VERSION of this song, by FAR. Please Google ZZ Top and Black Betty, and see on their official website.the article incorrectly said that ZZ Top never recorded this song.
