She she came from the land of the cotton
Em Em7 C G…
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
F C G
Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing
F C G
Oh… Oh, she sure could sing
VERSE-2
G F#m Bm
He… He looked down and he took a little pity
Em Em7 C G…
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
G F#m Bm
And he… He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Em Em7 C G…
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
CHORUS

Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh… Oh, she sure could sing

VERSE-3
G F#m Bm
They… Used to walk singing songs by the river
Em Em7 C G…
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away

She, she never knew what her life had to give her
Em Em7 C G…
She never had to think about it For one single day
