|
| She worked and she slaved so hard
| Ella trabajó y esclavizó tan duro
|
| Big old field was her backyard
| Gran campo viejo era su patio trasero
|
| In the delta sun
| En el sol del delta
|
| Oh oh she sure could sing
| Oh oh ella seguro que podría cantar
|
| Oh my she sure could sing
| Oh mi ella seguro que podría cantar
|

|
| Whole town swore, he decided
| Toda la ciudad juró, decidió
|
| He would help us out
| el nos ayudaria
|
| And he-e-e
| Y he-e-e
|

|
| Singing Hallelujah
| cantando aleluya
|
| They-ey

|
| Used to walk, singing songs by the river
| Solía caminar, cantar canciones junto al río
|
| Even when she knew for sure
| Incluso cuando ella sabía con certeza
|
| She’d have to go away
| ella tendría que irse
|
| She-e-e

|
| For one single day
| Por un solo día
