MIb SOL7
She she came from the land of the cotton
DOm MIb7 SOL# MIb
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
MIb SOL7
And She worked and she slaved so hard
DOm MIb7 SOL# MIb
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
DO# SOL# MIb
Oh, but she sure could sing
DO# SOL# MIb
Oh, she sure could sing
MIb SOL7
Then He looked down and he took a little pity
DOm MIb7 SOL#
The whole town swore he decided
MIb
He'd help her some
MIb SOL7
And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
DOm MIb7 SOL#
For deep inside his heart he knew
MIb
She was the only one
DO# SOL# MIb
Oh but she sure could sing
DO# SOL# MIb
Oh she sure could sing
SIb
She had faith, she had believing
MIb
Led all the people together in singing
SIb
And she prayed every night to the lord up above
SOL# MIb FAm FAm/SOL# SIb
Hallelujah oh hallelujah
MIb SOL7
They would walk singing songs by the river
DOm MIb7
Even when she knew for sure
SOL# MIb
She had to go away
MIb SOL7
And she never knew what her life had to give her
DOm MIb7
And never had to worry about it
SOL# MIb
For one single day
DO# SOL# MIb
Oh but she sure could sing
DO# SOL# MIb DO# SOL# MIb
Yes yes sure could sing
