INTRO ? Em - Ebm - D ? Db - C ? G   x2

VERSE-1

G    F#m                Bm
She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Em            Em7                 C        G?
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
G   F#m                Bm    
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Em                      Em7              C         G?
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun

F   C                      G
Oh? Oh, but she sure could sing
F   C                  G
Oh? Oh, she sure could sing

VERSE-2

G    F#m                   Bm
He?  He looked down and he took a little pity
Em                        Em7            C              G?
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
G       F#m                   Bm
And he? He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Em                           Em7              C          G?
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one

CHORUS 

F   C                      G
Oh? Oh, but she sure could sing
F   C                  G
Oh? Oh, she sure could sing

VERSE-3

G      F#m                Bm
They?  Used to walk singing songs by the river
Em                      Em7              C         G?
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away

G    F#m                      Bm
She, she  never knew what her life had to give her
Em               Em7                    C          G?
She never had to think about it For one single day
