Thread Name: Black Betty: what's a "shiv"? [Look-a Yonder]
Subject: RE: Black Betty lyrics - what's a "shiv"?
"Black Betty"
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Well the sun done gone
The captain can't hold her
The captain can't hold her
The captain can't hold her
The way I do now
Ada got a gold mine
Ada got a gold mine
Ada got a gold mine
Way above her knees
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
The shiv is golden
Above her knees
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Look-a look-a yonder
Well the sun done gone
