Artist: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Song: 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
Big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Oh my, she sure could sing
And he
Looked down and he took a little pity
Whole town swore, he decided
He would help us out
And he
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, 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
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She'd have to go away
She
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
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
The big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
