Ram Jam - Black Betty

@2cool4school I read it was the name given to an American Civil War firearm.

@chrisCA hmm I think I knew it as the slang term for a type of pharmaceutical methamphetamine… ?? (Specifically a term from the late 60’s to the end of the the 70’s according to an aunt of mine that was a little wild in her late teens and early 20’s )

Maybe, but the term is much older as you can see.

@chrisCA makes more sense actually but I think it has a double meaning for some people.

@2cool4school I thought the song was about a woman, but I saw the historical reference in YouTube comments.

@chrisCA I love the way that things are revealed and learned through just the sharing of information 🤓
