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 old field was her back yard in the delta sun

                     
Oh, 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
                        
 deep inside his heart he knew
                   
She was the only one

                        
Oh,  but she  sure could sing
                   
Oh,  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
     Cbm   Cbm (let ring)   
 Ha__llelujah  oh hallelu____jah

    
They  use to walk singing songs by the river
        
 Even when she knew
                 
She had to go away
       
And she  never knew what her life was to give her
               
 And never had to worry about it
               
 For one single day

                     
Oh, but she sure could sing
                    
Oh,  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
D  A   Cbm   Cbm (let ring)  
 Ha__llelujah  oh hallelu____jah

Naanana but she sure could sing
