  That's how we used to do it back in the day. Score a few cases of beer, a baggie of green, and cruise around until you heard some loud music, party with your new best friends all night, wake up on the lawn the next morning hungover and shivering. Good times.😁

  Known fact about this song:  Listening to this song while driving gives you a 100% chance of getting a speeding ticket.

  This is an old blues tune that Lead Belly (Huddie Ledbetter) popularized way back

  I read somewhere that they were given $500 to make a video but spent the money on weed and beer. That's why it's in someone's backyard😅

  Black Betty was a musket that was used in the Revolutionary War. Bam a Lam was the sound it made. This is a cover of a lead belly song.

  That's my favorite era of rock , when it was still mostly hard ass blues.

  This was originally a song began as a work song in a Texas prison.<br>1939: Folk singer Lead Belly recorded and popularized the song. They made a lot of money off this 1 song. They said they were given money to make a video and decided to keep it and make the video in one of their backyards. Kept the money and went and bought beer😂 love y’all

  We had a hall monitor named Betty n she happened to be black. In 1984 she heard my friend singing this thought we were racist lil white boys but we enlightened her to this song n she was singing it the next day in school. Peace n love to everybody!!!
