She she  came from the land  of the cotton
 Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And She  worked and she slaved  so hard
…
 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

He… He  looked down and he took  a little pity
…
 The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
And  he… He  didn't mind if she wasn't  very pretty
…
 For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
Oh… Oh,  but she sure could sing
Oh… Oh,  she sure could sing
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

They… Used  to walk singing  songs by the river
…
 Even when she knew for sure She had to go away
She, she  never knew what her life  had to give her
…
 She never had to think about it For one single day
 Repeat VERSE-1
