Ram Jam ~ Black Betty

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I didn't know this song had a video (or was a remake) until a few years ago. But I've always liked the song. smile

There's a remix on a compilation from the early 1990's called Club Epic.

That song has had some pretty interesting cover versions, but it's Leadbelly's song.
