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
Big old field was her backyard 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
But he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
And deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
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 prays every night to the Lord up above
Singing, "Hallelujah"
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 her life was to give her
And never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh my, 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 prays 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
Big old field was her backyard in the delta sun
Oh, yes, she sure could sing
My, my, my, she sure could sing
Oh, yes and she sure could sing
Ohand she sure could sing
