She

[Verse 1]

She

She came from the land of the cotton

A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

She

She worked and she slaved so hard

A big old field was her back yard 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

But he

Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty

And deep inside his heart, he knew she was the only one

[Chorus]

Oh, but she sure could sing

Yeah, she sure could sing

[Bridge]

She had faith, she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And she prays every night to the Lord up above

Singing hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]

They

Used to walk, singing songs by the river

Even when she knew for sure she had to go away

She

Never knew what her life was to give her

And never had to worry about it for one single day

[Chorus]

Oh my, but she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

[Bridge]

She had faith, she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And she prays every night to the Lord up above

Singing hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 1]

She

She came from the land of the cotton

A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

She

She worked and she slaved so hard

A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun

[Chorus]

Oh yes, she sure could sing

My, my, my, she sure could sing

Oh yeah, she sure could sing

Oh, and she sure could sing
