Harris Emmylou She Lyrics

She Lyrics

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 back yard in the delta sun
ooh, but she sure could sing
ooh, 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
but he didn't mind if she wasn't very
pretty
for deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
ooh, but
she sure could sing
yeah, 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, ooh hallelujah
they use to
walk singing 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
ooh my but she sure could sing
ooh, she
sure could sing
she had faith, she had believing
led all the people
together in singing
and she prayed every night to the lord up
above
singing hallelujah, ooh hallelujah
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 back yard in the delta
sun
ooh, but she sure could sing
my, my, my she sure could sing
ooh,
yeah she sure could sing
ooh, she sure could sing
