Lyrics She - Alternate Version - Gram Parsons

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, but she sure could sing
Oh, and she sure could sing

Then he, 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
And deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Oh yes, she sure could sing
My, my, she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prays 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 had to go away
She... never knew what her life had to give her
And never had to worry about it for one single day

Oh yeah, she sure could sing
Yeah, yeah, she sure could sing

She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prays 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

My, my, my, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, and she sure could sing
Ooh, yeah, yes, and she sure could sing
Oh, and she sure could sing
