Bb   D7      
She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Gm            Bb7                 Eb     Bb  F
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
Bb  D7         
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Gm                      Bb7              Eb    Bb
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Ab  Eb                 Bb
Oh, but she sure could sing
Ab  Eb             Bb   F
Oh, she sure could sing
Bb      D7
Then He looked down and he took a little pity
Gm             Bb7      
The whole town swore he decided
          Eb      Bb  F
He'd help her some
Bb     D7
And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Gm                  Bb7          
For deep inside his heart he knew
            Eb  Bb
She was the only one
Ab Eb                  Bb 
Oh but she  sure could sing
Ab  Eb              Bb 
Yea she sure  could sing
F
She had faith, she had believing
Bb
She led all the people together in singing
F
And she prayed every night to the lord up Ebove
Eb  F  Cm  Cm/Bb    F
Hallelujah  oh hallelujah
Bb    D7
They use to walk singing songs by the river
Gm            Bb7
Even when she knew for sure
           Eb Bb
She had to go away
Bb       D7
And she  never knew what her life had to give her
Gm               Bb7
And never had to worry about it
        Eb        Bb
For one single day
Ab Eb                 Bb
My but she sure could sing
Ab  Eb               Bb  
Oh  yes  sure  could sing
F
She had faith, she had believing
Bb
Led all the people together in singing
F
And she prayed every night to the lord up above
Eb  F  Cm  Cm/Bb    F
Hallelujah  oh hallelujah
Bb   D7      
She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Gm            Bb7                 Eb     Bb
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
Bb  D7         
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Gm                      Bb7              Eb    Bb
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Ab  Eb                 Bb
Oh, but she sure could sing
Ab  Eb             Bb   
My, she sure could sing
Ab  Eb                 Bb
Oh, but she sure could sing
Ab  Eb                 Bb
Oh, but she sure could sing
