Clarification of Question by jeeper-ga on 16 Apr 2004 22:23 PDT

the song was sung at the end of the movie during the credits.Hope you can help!

Can you tell me whether this is the version of "Black Betty" that
you're looking for? Here's a clip:

took me a while to find this 

the movie name is Liberty Stands Still (Im Visier des Mörders)

The original preformers of the song were a group called Ram-Jam (and
on a personal note they made a lot better songs than this one you
should listen to "life of the artist as a young ram")

However I could not find 'black betty' being part of the movie
soundtrack (the only recent movie featuring this song is 'Blow')

Are you sure the song is "Black Betty"

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam) 
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-Lam) 
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 

Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam) 
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam) 
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam) 
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) 
Whoa, Black Betty BAM-BA-LAM
