She

Word and Music by Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge


She
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She
She worked and she slaved so hard
A big ole field was her backyard in the Delta sun

Oh, but she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing

Then he
Looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he decided he'd help her some
But he
Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty and
Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Oh, but she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing

She had faith
She had believin'
She led all the people together in singing'
And she pray every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

They used to walk singin' songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away
She
Never knew what her life was to give her and
Never had to worry about it for one single day

Oh my, but she sure could sing, yeah
Oh, she sure could sing

She had faith
She had believin'
She led all the people together in singin'
And she pray every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah

Hallelujah

She
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She
She worked and she slaved so hard
Big ole field was her backyard in the Delta sun

Ah, yeah she sure could sing
My, my, my she sure could sing
Oh yeah and she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
