   C  E7
  She, she came fron the land of the cotton,
    Am                     C7        F  C     G
  a land that was nearly forgotten by every one.
       C    E7
  And she, she worked and she slaved so hard
    Am                   C7             F    C
  a big old field was her backyard in the delta sun.
 Bb F                  C                    
  Oh my, she sure could sing.
 Bb F                  C
  Oh yes, she sure could sing.
  C   E7
   He, looked down and he took a little pity
      Am              C7            F      C      G
  the whole town swore he decided he'd help her some.
     C  E7
  And he, didn't mind that she wasen't very pretty
  Am            C7                       F   C
  deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one.
     Bb  F               C
  And oh, she sure could sing.
  Bb F                    C
  Oh yeah, she sure could sing.
  G                           
  She had faith and she had believin'
       C                    
  She led all the people together in singin'
            G                                  
  And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
           F   C Dm Dm---G
  singing Hal la luah   Halla luah.
  C    E7
  They, used to walk singin' songs by the river
  Am                     C7               F  C     G
  even though she knew for certain she had to go away.
      C   E7
  And she, never knew what her life had to give her
  Am         C7                     F  C
  Never had to worry about it for one single day.
     Bb  F              C
  But oh, she sure could sing.
  Bb    F               C
  My my, she sure could sing.
   G
  She had faith and she had believin'
       F                               C
  she led all the people together in singin'
            G
  and she prayed every night to the Lord up above
           F   C   Dm---G
  singin' Hal la luah   Halla luah.
