She

Lyrics for She

She, she came from the land of the cotton A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone And she, she worked and she slaved so hard A big ol' field was her backyard in the delta sun Ah, but she sure could sing Oh, she sure could sing Then he looked down and he took a little pity The whole town swore he decided he'd help her some And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one Ah, but she sure could sing My, my, she sure could sing She had faith and she had believing Led all the people together in a-singing She pray every night to the Lord up above Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah They would walk singing songs by the river Even when she knew for sure she have to go away And she never knew what her life was to give her Never had to worry about it for one single day Ah, but she sure could sing My, my, but she sure could sing Oh, she sure could sing
