[Verse] Down on Beale Street where the blues kids play Met a woman they call Black Betty she's wild every day She got a fire in her eyes and a smile so wide Everybody stops and stares when she glides on by [Chorus] Oh Black Betty you set my soul on fire With a heart full of rhythm and a world to inspire Oh Black Betty you steal the night with grace Got the whole town dancing in a wild embrace [Verse 2] Black Betty's got a secret that she hides so well When she whispers in the moonlight no one can ever tell She's got a groove that's deeper than the Memphis night And when she hits those notes baby everything's right [Chorus] Oh Black Betty you set my soul on fire With a heart full of rhythm and a world to inspire Oh Black Betty you steal the night with grace Got the whole town dancing in a wild embrace [Bridge] When the stars come alive and the shadows sway Black Betty takes the stage and all the pain melts away She's a miracle in motion a sight to see Black Betty's magic sets every spirit free [Chorus] Oh Black Betty you set my soul on fire With a heart full of rhythm and a world to inspire Oh Black Betty you steal the night with grace Got the whole town dancing in a wild embrace
