She she came from the land of the cotton
G…
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
B minorBm
And She worked and she slaved so hard

A augmentedA big old field was her back yard in the delta sun

Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing
G+G
Oh… Oh, she sure could sing
VERSE-2

He… He looked down and he took a little pity
G…
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
B minorBm
And he… He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
G…
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
CHORUS

Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing
G+G
Oh… Oh, she sure could sing

They… Used to walk singing songs by the river

Even when she knew for sure She had to go away

She, she never knew what her life had to give her
