She

She, she came from the land of the cotton
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

Ooh, but she sure could sing
Yeah, 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
Coz he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Yeah, saying she sure could sing
Ooh, 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, ooh hallelujah

They use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when he knew for sure she had to go away
And she never knew what her life had to give her
Never had to worry about it for one single day

Ooh my but she sure could sing
Yeah, 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, ooh hallelujah

She, she came from the land of the cotton
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

Ooh, but she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
My my, she sure could sing
Ooh, but she sure could sing
