Please help. This is driving me mad but details are sketchy at best. I'm trying to remember the name of a bliues song.
The gist of the lyrics is it's about a man and a woman in a grocery or liquor store roberry and their getaway in a Chevrolet or Cadillac. The ladies name might be Betty. Apologies for sounding like a club circuit psychic. That's all I've got I'm afraid. It's an up tempo foot tapping tune, pehaps similar to Tulane.
Any help gratefully received.

can't place it, there is a song called Black Betty by Leadbelly, but having listened don't think its that.
Lonnie Donegan recorded a fast tempo blues entitled Betty, Betty, Betty. Dont know if its the song you are looking for but I recall it had some shooting in it. It must be an authentic blues which Lonnie used to cover with his skiffle group.

Thanks for both the replies but having youtube'd the suggestions it's neither. I thought it was a Paul Jones Blues Band track but I've googled their back catlogue and it's not there.

Funny that, because I have just started listening to the music of Ricky Van Shelton, an American country singer. He sings a song called Crime of Passion, which involves him robbing a garage and the police car is an unmarked Chevy Nova. It probably isn't that one, but it's a damned fine song!!! :D
