She

[Verse 1] 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 A big old field was her backyard in the delta sun [Chorus] Oh, but she sure could sing Oh, she sure could sing [Verse 2] Then he, looked down and he took a little pity The whole town swore he decided he'd help her some And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty For deep inside his heart, he knew she was the only one [Chorus] My but she sure could sing My my, she sure could sing [Bridge] She had faith and she had believing Led all the people together in a-singing And she prayed every night to the Lord up above Hallelujah, oh hallelujah [Verse 3] They would walk singing songs by the river Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away And she never knew what a life was to give her Never had to worry about it for one single day [Chorus] Ah but she sure could sing My my, but she sure could sing Oh she sure could sing
