Ella

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

She

She-e-e
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone

She-e-e
She worked and she slaved so hard
Big old field was her backyard
In the delta sun

Oh oh she sure could sing
Oh my she sure could sing

And he-e-e
Looked down and took a little pity
Whole town swore, he decided
He would help us out

And he-e-e
Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty
Cause deep inside his heart he knew
She was the only one

Oh oh she sure could sing
Hey-ey 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
Singing hallelujah

They-ey
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She'd have to go away

She-e-e
Never knew what a life was to give her
Never had to worry about it
For one single day

Oh my she sure could sing
Oh yeah she sure could sing

She was singing, singing hallelujah

And she-e-e
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone

She-e-e
She worked and she slaved so hard
The big old field was her backyard
In the delta sun

Oh oh she sure could sing
Yeah-ah she sure could sing
Oh yeah she sure could sing
Yeah-ah she sure could sing-ing-ay-ay

Ella

Ella-e-e
Ella vino de la tierra del algodón
Una tierra que casi había sido olvidada
Por todos

Ella-e-e
Trabajaba y se esforzaba tanto
Un gran campo era su patio trasero
Bajo el sol del delta

Oh oh, ella realmente sabía cantar
Oh sí, ella realmente sabía cantar

Y él-e-e
Miró hacia abajo y tuvo un poco de compasión
Todo el pueblo juró, él decidió
Que nos ayudaría

Y él-e-e
No le importaba que ella no fuera muy bonita
Porque en lo más profundo de su corazón sabía
Que ella era la única

Oh oh, ella realmente sabía cantar
Hey-ey, ella realmente sabía cantar

Ella tenía fe
Ella tenía creencia
Ella guiaba a toda la gente a cantar juntos
Y rezaba todas las noches
Al señor allá arriba
Cantando aleluya

Ellos-ey
Solían caminar, cantando canciones junto al río
Incluso cuando sabía con certeza
Que tendría que irse

Ella-e-e
Nunca supo qué vida le daría
Nunca tuvo que preocuparse por ello
Ni un solo día

Oh sí, ella realmente sabía cantar
Oh sí, ella realmente sabía cantar

Ella cantaba, cantaba aleluya

Y ella-e-e
Ella vino de la tierra del algodón
Una tierra que casi había sido olvidada
Por todos

Ella-e-e
Trabajaba y se esforzaba tanto
El gran campo era su patio trasero
Bajo el sol del delta

Oh oh, ella realmente sabía cantar
Sí-ah, ella realmente sabía cantar
Oh sí, ella realmente sabía cantar
Sí-ah, ella realmente sabía cantar-ing-ay-ay
