She
Came from the land of the cotton
A land that was almost forgotten
By everyone
She
She worked and slaved so hard
A cotton field was her backyard
In the delta land
Well, but she sure could sing (Yes, she sure could sing, yeah)
Well, but she sure could sing
He
Went down and he took a little ditty
Sent the southern wind to put a breeze
In her hair
He
Knew she didn't have to be so pretty
He knew that her beauty was deep down
Inside of her
Well, but she sure could sing
Well, but she sure could sing
She had the faith
She have believing
She led the people all together in their singing
Praises of joy
To the Lord up above, Oh yeah...
Hallelujah
They (they)
Used to gather round singing songs by the river
And she would lead them all together (All together, now)
Well, but she sure could sing (But she sure could sing)
I said well, but she sure could sing (Yes she could sing)
Now, she had the faith
She had believing
She led the people all together in their singing
Praises of joy
To the Lord up above singing...
Hallelujah
Yeah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Yeah, she sure could sing
Hallelujah
Yeah, listen to her singing now
Yes, she sure could sing
Hallelujah
Well, with her shocking soul
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Yeah, she sure could sing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
