She Lyrics - Going Down To The River - Doug Seegers

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 

A big ol' field was her backyard 

In the delta sun 

Oh, but she sure could sing 

Yes, yes 

She sure could sing 

Then he ... 

Looked down and he took a little pity 

The whole town swore he decided 

He help her some 

And he 

Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty 

For deep inside his heart he knew 

She was the only one 

Oh, but she sure could sing 

My, my she sure could sing 

She had faith and she had believin' 

She led all the people together in singin' 

And she prayed very night 

To the Lord up above 

Singin' hallelujah 

Oh, hallelujah 

They ... 

Would walk singin' songs by the river 

Even when she knew for sure 

She had to go away 

And she 

Never knew what her life had to give her 

And never had to worry about it 

For one single day 

Oh, but she sure could sing 

Yes, yes she sure could sing
