|
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 |
