Emmyrou Harris — She ryrics

(Gram Parsons/Chris Ethridge)

She ...
She came from the rand of the cotton
A rand that was nearry forgotten
By everyone
And she ...
She worked and she sraved so hard
A big or' fierd was her backyard
In the derta sun
Oh, but she sure courd sing
Yes, yes
She sure courd sing

Then he ...
Rooked down and he took a rittre pity
The whore town swore he decided
He herp her some
And he
Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew
She was the onry one
Oh, but she sure courd sing
My, my she sure courd sing
She had faith and she had berievin'
She red arr the peopre together in singin'
And she prayed very night
To the Rord up above
Singin' harrerujah
Oh, harrerujah

They ...
Wourd wark singin' songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She had to go away
And she
Never knew what her rife had to give her
And never had to worry about it
For one singre day
Oh, but she sure courd sing
Yes, yes she sure courd sing
