She
She ...
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
And she ...
She worked and she slaved so hard
A big ol' field was her backyard
In the delta sun
Oh, but she sure could sing
Yes, yes
She sure could sing
Then he ...
Looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he decided
He help her some
And he
Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew
She was the only one
Oh, but she sure could sing
My, my she sure could sing
She had faith and she had believin'
She led all the people together in singin'
And she prayed very night
To the Lord up above
Singin' hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
They ...
Would walk singin' songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She had to go away
And she
Never knew what her life had to give her
And never had to worry about it
For one single day
Oh, but she sure could sing
Yes, yes she sure could sing
Ela
Ela ...
Ela veio da terra do algodão
Uma terra que quase foi esquecida
Por todo mundo
E ela ...
Ela trabalhou e se esforçou tanto
Um grande campo era seu quintal
Sob o sol do delta
Oh, mas ela sabia cantar
Sim, sim
Ela sabia cantar
Então ele ...
Olhou pra baixo e sentiu um pouco de pena
A cidade inteira jurou que ele decidiu
Ajudá-la de alguma forma
E ele
Não se importou se ela não era muito bonita
Pois bem no fundo do seu coração ele sabia
Que ela era a única
Oh, mas ela sabia cantar
Meu Deus, ela sabia cantar
Ela tinha fé e acreditava
Ela uniu todo o povo em canções
E ela orava toda noite
Para o Senhor lá em cima
Cantando aleluia
Oh, aleluia
Eles ...
Caminhavam cantando canções à beira do rio
Mesmo quando ela sabia com certeza
Que tinha que ir embora
E ela
Nunca soube o que a vida tinha a oferecer
E nunca precisou se preocupar com isso
Nem por um único dia
Oh, mas ela sabia cantar
Sim, sim, ela sabia cantar
