She - Ed Harcourt

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

A big old field was her backyard in the Delta sun

Oh, 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

And he didn’t mind if she wasn’t very pretty

Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Oh, she sure could sing

Yes, she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And she prayed 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, she never knew what her life was to give her

Never had to worry about it for one single day

Oh my, she sure could sing

Yeah, she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believing

She led all the people together in singing

And she prayed 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

A big old field was her backyard in the Delta sun

Oh yea, she sure could sing

My my my, she sure could sing

Oh yes, she sure could sing

Oh, she sure could sing
