She

(gram parsons/chris ethridge)



She ...

She came from the land of the cotton

A land that was nearly forgotten

By everyone

And she ...

She worked and she slaved so hard

A big ol' field was her backyard

In the delta sun

Oh, but she sure could  sing

Yes, yes

She sure could sing



Then he ...

Looked down and he took a little pity

The whole town swore he decided

He help her some

And he

Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty

For deep inside his heart he knew

She was the only one

Oh, but she sure could sing

My, my she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believin'

She led all the people together in singin'

And she prayed very night

To the lord up above

Singin' hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah



They ...

Would walk singin' 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

Oh, but she sure could sing

Yes, yes she sure could sing
