Lyrics She - The Black Crowes

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 backyard 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
Prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
And they use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she had to go away
And she, she never knew what this life was 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
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
And she, she came from the land of the cotton
The land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She, but 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
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, Lord, but she sure could sing
