"Black Betty" (Roud 11668) 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. There are numerous recorded versions, including a cappella and folk. The song was eventually, with modified lyrics, remade as a rock song by the American band Ram Jam in 1977. Subsequent recordings, including hits by Tom Jones and Spiderbait, retain the structure of this version.

Zu den bekanntesten Versionen des Songs gehören die Aufnahmen von Ram Jam, Tom Jones und Spiderbait, die alle Hits waren. (de) Black Betty est un chant de travail afro-américain du XXe siècle dont les premiers enregistrements datent de 1933. La paternité du titre fut attribuée à James "Iron Head" Baker et il fit l'objet de nombreuses reprises, que ce soit a cappella, avec orchestration folk ou rock. C'est dans ce courant musical que s'inscrit la version la plus célèbre, celle de Ram Jam, datée de 1977. (fr) Black Betty è una canzone da lavoro degli afro-americani del ventesimo secolo, spesso accreditata a Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, benché le prime registrazioni non siano sicuramente sue. Alcune fonti dichiarano che si tratti di uno dei numerosi brani che Leadbelly aveva adattato partendo da materiale preesistente, nel caso specifico una marcia del diciottesimo secolo che parlava di un acciarino. Esistono numerose registrazioni di Black Betty, incluse versioni a cappella, folk e rock. La versione moderna maggiormente conosciuta è quella registrata dai Ram Jam nel 1977. (it) Black Betty is een Amerikaans volksliedje uit de 20e eeuw. De bekendste opname uit de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw is van Lead Belly, deze nam het lied in 1939 op. In 1977 blies Ram Jam het nummer nieuw leven in, door met een hardrockversie van het nummer, de meest gekende versie, in de hitlijsten te komen. Het nummer kwam uit op het album Ram Jam uit 1977, vernoemd naar de band. Het nummer werd in juni van dat jaar eerst in de VS en Canada op single uitgebracht. In januari 1978 volgden Europa, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland. (nl)
