Lyrics

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 backyard in the delta sun
 Oh, but she sure could sing, oh 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
 And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
 For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
 And oh, but she sure could sing, my, my she sure could sing
 She had faith and she had believin'
 Led all the people together in a singin'
 And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
 Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
 They, would walk singin' songs by the river
 Even when she knew for sure, she have to go away
 And she never knew what her life was to give her
 Never had to worry about it for one single day
 Oh, but she sure could sing, na, na but she sure could sing
