She - The Black Crowes

She, she came from the land of the cotton

Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

And she, she worked and she slaved so hard

A big old field was her backyard in the delta sun

Oh, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing

Then He, He looked down and He took a little pity

The whole town swore He knew he’d help her some

And He, He 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

Prayed every night to the Lord up above

Singing hallelujah, hallelujah

And they use to walk singing songs by the river

Even when she knew for sure she had to go away

And she, she never knew what this life was 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

Singing hallelujah, hallelujah

And she, she came from the land of the cotton

The land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

She, but she worked and she slaved so hard

A big old field was her backyard 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
