Gram Parsons
She
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 backyard in the Delta sun

Oh, 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
Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Oh, she sure could sing
Yes, she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah

They used to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away
She, she never knew what her life was to give her
Never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh my, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing

She had faith and she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prayed 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
A big old field was her backyard in the Delta sun

Oh yea, she sure could sing
My my my, she sure could sing
Oh yes, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
