Ela, ela veio da terra do algodão,
Terra quase esquecida por todos
E ela trabalhou e foi escravizada duramente
Um campo velho e grande era seu quintal no sol do delta
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantar
Oh, ela realmente podia cantar
Então ele baixou os olhos e sentiu pena
Ele jurou à cidade toda que decidiu que
poderia dar uma ajudinha a ela,
E ele não se importava se ela não era tão bonita
Pois conheceu seu coração profundamente
Ela era a única
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantar,
Sim, ela realmente podia cantar
Ela teve fé, ela acreditou
Ela incitou todas as pessoas a cantarem juntas
E ela rezou todas as noites ao Senhor dos Céus
Aleluia, oh, Aleluia,
Eles costumam caminhar cantando à beira do rio
Logo quando ela teve a certeza
Que ela tinha de ir embora
E ela nunca soube o que a vida tinha para lhe oferecer
E nunca teve de se preocupar com isso
Por nenhum dia sequer
Mas ela podia realmente cantar
Oh, sim, ela podia realmente cantar
Ela teve fé, ela acreditou
Ela incitou todas as pessoas a cantarem juntas
E ela rezou todas as noites ao Senhor dos Céus
Aleluia, oh, Aleluia,
Ela, ela veio da terra do algodão,
Terra quase esquecida por todos
E ela trabalhou e foi escravizada duramente
Um campo velho e grande era seu quintal no sol do delta
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantar
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantar
Oh, mas ela realmente podia cantar
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 above
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,

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.
