There are so many numerous recorded versions of "Black Betty". The song was eventually, with modified lyrics, remade as a rock blues song by the American band Ram Jam in 1977. 




"Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to "Lead Belly" as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him.
