Ela, ela veio da terra do algodão,She, she came from the land of the cotton,
Terra quase esquecida por todosLand that was nearly forgotten by everyone,
E ela trabalhou e foi escravizada duramenteAnd she worked and she slaved so hard,
Um campo velho e grande era seu quintal no sol do deltaA big old field was her back yard in the delta sun,
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantarOh, but she sure could sing,
Oh, ela realmente podia cantarOh, she sure could sing.

Ela incitou todas as pessoas a cantarem juntasShe led all the people together in singing,
E ela rezou todas as noites ao Senhor dos CéusAnd she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Aleluia, oh, Aleluia,Hallelujah. Oh hallelujah,
Eles costumam caminhar cantando à beira do rioThey use to walk singing songs by the river,,
Logo quando ela teve a certezaEven when she knew for sure,
Que ela tinha de ir emboraShe had to go away,

Por nenhum dia sequerFor one single day,

Oh, sim, ela podia realmente cantarOh yes, sure could sing.
