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