She Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 

Big old field was her backyard 

In the Delta sun 

Oh, oh, she sure could sing 

Oh my, she sure could sing 

And he 

Looked down and he took a little pity 

Whole town swore, he decided 

He would help us out

And he 

Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty 

'Cause deep inside his heart he knew 

She was the only one 

Oh, oh, she sure could sing 

Hey, 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" 

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 a life was to give her 

Never had to worry about it 

For one single day

Oh yeah, she sure could sing 

She was singing, singing, "Hallelujah" 

And 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 

The big old field was her backyard 

In the Delta sun 

Oh, oh, she sure could sing 

Yeah, she sure could sing 

Oh yeah, she sure could sing 

Yeah, she sure could sing
