She

She, she came from the land of the cotton
 A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
 She, she worked and she slaved so hard
 Big old field was her backyard in the delta sun
 Oh, 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
 But he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
 And deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
 Ooh, 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 prays every night to the Lord up above
 Singing, "Hallelujah"
 Hallelujah
 They used to walk singing songs by the river
 Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away
 She never knew what her life was to give her
 And never had to worry about it for one single day
 Oh my, but she sure could sing
 Oh, she sure could sing
 She had faith, she had believing
 She led all the people together in singing
 And she prays every night to the Lord up above
 Singing, "Hallelujah"
 Hallelujah
 She, she came from the land of the cotton
 A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
 She, she worked and she slaved so hard
 Big old field was her backyard in the delta sun
 Oh, yes, she sure could sing
 My, my, my, she sure could sing
 Oh, yes and she sure could sing
 Ohand she sure could sing
