INTRO â - - â - â x2
VERSE-1
She she came from the land of the cotton
â¦
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And She worked and she slaved so hard
â¦
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh⦠Oh, but she sure could sing
Oh⦠Oh, she sure could sing
VERSE-2
He⦠He looked down and he took a little pity
â¦
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
And he⦠He didn t mind if she wasn t very pretty
â¦
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
CHORUS
Oh⦠Oh, but she sure could sing
Oh⦠Oh, she sure could sing
BRIDGE
She had faith, she had believinâ
Led all the people together in singinâ
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hal⦠le⦠lu-jah Halle⦠lu⦠jah
VERSE-3
They⦠Used to walk singing songs by the river
â¦
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away
She, she never knew what her life had to give her
â¦
She never had to think about it For one single day
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Repeat VERSE-1
CHORUS X 2 to End
