"Black Betty" was a common term for a bottle of whisky in the borderlands between northern England and southern Scotland; it later became a euphemism in the backcountry areas of the eastern United States. In January 1736, Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker's Dictionary in the Pennsylvania Gazette offering 228 round-about phrases for being drunk. One of those phrases is "He's kiss'd black Betty." Other sources give the meaning of "Black Betty" in the United States (from at least 1827) as a liquor bottle.

I 'd love to know who actually makes up all these words.......there's a new one every day
There used to be a clothes shop, essentially for Afro-Caribbean women in West Bromwich, called Black Betty's. Long since shut but I always wanted to know their decision making process in coming up with that name.
In fact, many of the set lyrics don’t stand up to scrutiny when viewed through a 21st century prism.
Whole Lotta Love? Explicitly carnal.
Stand By Me? Discrimination against the physically disabled.
Cigarettes and Alcohol? Advocates smoking, drinking and cocaine consumption.
The solution to this quandary is to turn up the guitars loud enough to drown out the vocals. If the audience sing along, that’s on them.
