She
She, she came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And 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
Ooh, she sure could sing
Then he, he looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he knew he'd help her some
And he, he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Deep inside his heart he knew, she was the only one
Ooh, but she sure could sing
Ohh ohh, she sure could sing
She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
She prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
They use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she have to go away
And she, she never knew what her life had to give her
And never had to worry about it for one single day
Ooh ohh she sure could sing
Ooh ohh, 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, hallelujah
She, she came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She, well she worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Ooh, she sure could sing
Ohh ooh she sure could sing
Ooh oohh she sure could sing
Ooh ohh, lord but she sure could sing
