Answer 1

it's 'black betty'

they lyrics are (after googling it..)

Whoa Black Betty, bambalam
Whoa Black Betty, bambalam

and wikipedia says -

"Black Betty" is a 20th century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material; in this case an 18th century marching cadence about a flint-lock rifle.

hope that's the song you meant!!!
