 <br />
 Look-a look-a yonder (3x)<br />
 Well the sun done gone<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 The captain can`t hold her (3x)<br />
 The way I do now<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Ada got a gold mine (3x)<br />
 Way above her knees<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 The shiv (?) is golden (3x)<br />
 Above her knees<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Look-a look-a yonder (3x)<br />
 Well the sun done gone<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Damn thing was crazy, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Oh, Betty Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Damn thing was crazy, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Black Betty didn`t mind, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Damn thing was blind, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Black Betty, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 Jump steady Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 That Monday, I was arrested<br />
 Tuesday, I locked up in jail<br />
 Wednesday baby, my trial`s tested<br />
 On Thursday, nobody could blow my bail<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Yes, I`m almost done (3x)<br />
 And I ain`t gonna yell against no bells<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 On Monday, baby I went a-walking<br />
 Tuesday, I .... asked to go<br />
 On Wednesday I sat down a-talking<br />
 On Thursday she hock all a my clothes<br />

(Leadbelly)
A traditional version is also available.

Look-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done gone

The captain can`t hold her (3x)
The way I do now

Ada got a gold mine (3x)
Way above her knees

The shiv (?) is golden (3x)
Above her knees

Look-a look-a yonder (3x)
Well the sun done gone

Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)
Damn thing was crazy, bam-e-lam (2x)
Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Oh, Betty Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty had a baby, bam-e-lam (2x)
Damn thing was crazy, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty didn`t mind, bam-e-lam (2x)
Damn thing was blind, bam-e-lam (2x)
Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Black Betty, Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)
Jump steady Black Betty, bam-e-lam (2x)

That Monday, I was arrested
Tuesday, I locked up in jail
Wednesday baby, my trial`s tested
On Thursday, nobody could blow my bail

Yes, I`m almost done (3x)
And I ain`t gonna yell against no bells

On Monday, baby I went a-walking

On Wednesday I sat down a-talking
