She she came from the land of the cotton
Em Em7 C G
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Em Em7 C G
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
Em Em7 C G
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
And he He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Em Em7 C G
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 believin'
Led all the people together in singin'
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
Em Em7 C G
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away
She, she never knew what her life had to give her
Em Em7 C G
She never had to think about it For one single day
CHORUS
