Eb G7
She she came from the land of the cotton
Cm Eb7 G# Eb
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
Eb G7
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Cm Eb7 G# Eb
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
C# G# Eb
Oh, but she sure could sing
C# G# Eb
Oh, she sure could sing
Eb G7
Then He looked down and he took a little pity
Cm Eb7 G#
The whole town swore he decided
Eb
He'd help her some

She was the only one
C# G# Eb
Oh but she sure could sing

Led all the people together in singing

And she prayed every night to the lord up above

They would walk singing songs by the river
Cm Eb7
Even when she knew for sure

And she never knew what her life had to give her
Cm Eb7
And never had to worry about it
G# Eb
For one single day
C# G# Eb
Oh but she sure could sing
C# G# Eb C# G# Eb
Yes yes sure could sing
