| 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 backyard in the Delta sun
|
| Oh, 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, she sure could sing
|
| Yes, she sure could sing
|
| She had faith and she had believing
|
| She led all the people together in singing
|
| And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
|
| Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
|
| They used 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 was to give her
|
| Never had to worry about it for one single day
|
| Oh my, she sure could sing
|
| Yeah, she sure could sing
|
| She had faith and she had believing
|
| She led all the people together in singing
|
| And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
|
| Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
|
| 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 backyard in the Delta sun
|
| Oh yea, she sure could sing
|
| My my my, she sure could sing
|
| Oh yes, she sure could sing
|
| Oh, she sure could sing |
