"%22Black Betty%22 (Roud 11668) is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie %22Lead Belly%22 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 flintlock musket. There are numerous recorded versions, including a cappella, folk, and rock arrangements. The best known modern recordings are rock versions by Ram Jam, Tom Jones, and Spiderbait, all of which were hits." . "Black Betty" . "0.338486"^^ . . . "USA560659520" . "197781"^^ .
