She

She

She came from the land of the cotton

Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

And she

She worked and she slaved so hard

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

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

Then he

He looked down and he took a little pity

The whole town swore he knew he'd help her some

And he

He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty

For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

She had the faith, she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And prayed every night to the Lord up above

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And they

Use to walk singing songs by the river

Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away

She

She never knew what her life had to give her

She never had to worry about it for one single day

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

She had the faith, she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And prayed every night to the Lord up above

Singin' Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And she

She came from the land of the cotton

Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

She

Well she worked and she slaved so hard

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

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh Lord, but she sure could sing
