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
