She,  she  came from the land of the cotton
Gbm              A7                  D      A E
 A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone

And she, she worked and she slaved so hard
  Gbm               A7                   D        A
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun

Then He  looked down and he took a little pity
Gbm             A7
 The whole town swore he decided
     D            A
He'd help her some
    A  Db7
And he  didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty

They  use to walk singing songs by the river
Gbm        A7
 Even when she knew
           D      A
She had to go away
    A   Db7
And she  never knew what her life was to give her
Gbm               A7
 And never had to worry about it
D               A
 For one single day

G  D                   A
Oh, but she sure could sing
G   D               A
Oh,  she sure could sing
