She

She-e-e
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
She-e-e
She worked and she slaved so hard
Big old field was her backyard
In the delta sun
Oh oh she sure could sing
Oh my she sure could sing
And he-e-e
Looked down and took a little pity
Whole town swore, he decided
He would help us out
And he-e-e
Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty
Cause deep inside his heart he knew
She was the only one
Oh oh she sure could sing
Hey-ey 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
They-ey
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She'd have to go away
She-e-e
Never knew what a life was to give her
Never had to worry about it
For one single day
Oh my she sure could sing
Oh yeah she sure could sing
She was singing, singing hallelujah
And she-e-e
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
She-e-e
She worked and she slaved so hard
The big old field was her backyard
In the delta sun
Oh oh she sure could sing
Yeah-ah she sure could sing
Oh yeah she sure could sing
Yeah-ah she sure could sing-ing-ay-ay
