Whoa black betty
Bam a lam
Bam a lam
Way down in Caroline where I served my time
No joy and no pity in that goddam city
Bam a lam

I ain't got no name for that hurt and pain
I laid me down to die and that ain't no lie
Bam a lam
Whoa black betty

The judge said guilty but I ain't no killer
Never did no crime in South Caroline
Bam a lam
Whoa black betty

Any wife any mother one way or the other
No life for a life
Bam a lam
Is gonna make it right
Bam a lam
