Doug Seegers - She lyrics

She, 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 Ooh, but she sure could sing Yeah, she sure could sing Then he looked down and he took a little pity Whole town swore he decided he'd help her some 'Cause he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one Yeah, saying she sure could sing Ooh, she sure could sing She had faith, she had believing Led all the people together in singing And she prayed every night to the lord up above Singing hallelujah, hallelujah They, they use to walk singing songs by the river Even when he knew for sure she had to go away And she never knew what her life had to give her Never had to worry about it for one single day Ooh, but she sure could sing Yeah, 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, hallelujah She, she came from the land of the cotton A 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 Ooh, but she sure could sing Yeah, she sure could sing My my, she sure could sing Ooh, but she sure could sing
