She

She

She came from the land of the cotton

A land that was nearly forgotten

By everyone

And she

She worked and she slaved so hard

Big old field was her backyard

In the Delta sun

Oh, oh, she sure could sing

Oh my, she sure could sing

And he

Looked down and he took a little pity

Whole town swore, he decided

He would help us out

And he

Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty

'Cause deep inside his heart he knew

She was the only one

Oh, oh, she sure could sing

Hey, she sure could sing

She had faith, she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And she prayed every night to the Lord up above

Singing, ?Hallelujah?

They

Used to walk, singing songs by the river

Even when she knew for sure

She'd have to go away

She

Never knew what a life was to give her

Never had to worry about it

For one single day

Oh my, she sure could sing

Oh yeah, she sure could sing

She was singing, singing, ?Hallelujah?

And she

She came from the land of the cotton

A land that was nearly forgotten

By everyone

And she

She worked and she slaved so hard

The big old field was her backyard

In the Delta sun

Oh, oh, she sure could sing

Yeah, she sure could sing

Oh yeah, she sure could sing

Yeah, she sure could sing
