She

Gram Parsons

She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And She worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard 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
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
Yea she sure  could sing
She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing

And she prayed every night to the lord up Ebove
Hallelujah  oh hallelujah
They use to walk singing 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

My but she sure could sing
Oh  yes  sure  could sing
She had faith, she had believing
Led all the people together in singing

And she prayed every night to the lord up above
Hallelujah  oh hallelujah
She  she  came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

And She worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh, but she sure could sing   
My, she sure could sing

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