Thank you for posting this. As part of my music 'GCSE' I've chosen to do part of my coursework on songs from slavery. This is a perfect song t o reflect work songs; it has the call and response e.t.c THAANKS (:
I have just listened to this around 40 times and realised that this song is actually about Noah's Ark.
A source stated the lyrics where about Norah, but if you listen carefully you will hear about the rain (Great Flood), the boat being 40 cubit feet, and almost the very last word states Noah had a dove. I feel proud that this work song has biblical meanings and I figured it out. No other source which I have researched mentions this fact.
I just created a new online page that features some videos of the song "Black Betty". That page also includes the lyrics of Leadbelly, James I"ron Head" Baker, & others' version of this song as well as several other songs that include the name "Black Betty". In addition, that page includes various opinions about the meanings of "Black Betty", Comments about Hammer Ring, & this video are included on that page.
