She

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 ol' field was her backyard in the delta sun
 Ah, but 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
 For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
 Ah, but she sure could sing
 My, my, she sure could sing
 She had faith and she had believing
 Led all the people together in a-singing
 She pray every night to the Lord up above
 Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah
 They would walk singing 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
 Ah, but she sure could sing
 My, my, but she sure could sing
 Oh, she sure could sing
