Eb   G7
She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Cm            Eb7                 Ab     Eb
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
Eb      G7
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Cm         Eb7               Ab                Eb
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Db  Ab                 Eb
Oh, but she sure could sing
Db  Ab             Eb
Oh, she sure could sing
Eb      G7
Then He looked down and he took a little pity
Cm             Eb7      Ab
The whole town swore he decided
              Eb
He'd help her some
Eb     G7
And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Cm              Eb7          Ab
For deep inside his heart he knew
                 Eb
She was the only one
Db Ab                  Eb
Oh but she  sure could sing
Db Ab              Eb
Oh she sure  could sing
Bb
She had faith, she had believing
Eb
Led all the people together in singing
Bb
And she prayed every night to the lord up above
Ab  Eb Fm  Fm/Ab    Bb
Hallelujah  oh hallelujah
Eb    G7
They would walk singing songs by the river
Cm            Eb7
Even when she knew for sure
Ab            Eb
She had to go away
Eb       G7
And she  never knew what her life had to give her
Cm               Eb7
And never had to worry about it
        Ab     Eb
For one single day
Db Ab                 Eb
Oh but she sure could sing
Db  Ab               Eb   Db Ab  Eb
Yes yes  sure  could sing
