I actually play this each time I reach the Em. It somewhat emulates

what Rich Robinson does, when playing this song in open G..

Verse

1

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… Oh, but she sure could sing

Oh… Oh, she sure could sing

Verse

2

He… He looked down and he took a little pity

…

The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some

And he… He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty

…

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

Bridge

She had faith, she had believin’

Led all the people together in singin’

And she prayed every night to the Lord up above

  Hal… le… lu-jah Halle… lu… jah

Verse

3

They… Used to walk singing songs by the river

…

Even when she knew for sure She had to go away

She, she never knew what her life had to give her

…

She never had to think about it For one single day

Chorus

Bridge
