Lyrics

SHE

Mary Bennet – vocals, guitar
Jason LaPrade – dobro
Rosemary Phelan – harmony vocals
Murray Foster – electric bass

Written by Gram Parsons, Chris Ethridge (House of Jones Music, Irving Music Inc)

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 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
But 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
Yeah, 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 above
Singing hallelujah, oh hallelujah
They use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she had 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
Oh, she sure could sing

chorus

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 old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh, but she sure could sing
My, my, my she sure could sing
Oh, yeah she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
