She came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
she
She worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh, she sure could sing
yeah, she sure could sing
Then
He looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he knew he'd help her some
cause he
He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
yeah, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
She had the faith, she had believein'
She led all the people together in singing
And prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singsing Hallelujah, Hallelujah
they
Use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go
away
And she
never knew what her life had to give her
never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh, but she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
She had the faith, she had believin'
She led all the people together in singin'
And prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah
She came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She
Well she worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the sun
Oh, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
Oh, mymy she sure could sing
Oh Lord, she sure could sing
