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

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



Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing



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

deep inside his heart he knew

She was the only one



Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh, 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, Oh hallelujah



They use to walk singing songs by the river

Even when she knew she had to go away

And she never knew what her life was to give her

And never had to worry about it for one single day



Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh, 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, Oh hallelujah



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 back yard in the delta sun



Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing



Naanana, but she sure could sing

Oh, but she sure could sing
