Cotton Jenny

-(G)  (C)  (G)  (C)
There's a (G) house on a hill
By a (C) worn down weathered old (G) mill
In the valley be-(D)-low where the river winds
There's no such thing as bad (G) times
And a soft southern flame
Oh (C) Cotton Jenny's her (G) name
She wakes me (D) up when the sun goes down
And the wheels of love go (G) 'round

Wheels of love go (C) 'round
Love go (G) 'round, love go (A) 'round
A joyful (D) sound
I ain't (G) got a penny 
For (C) Cotton Jenny to (D) spend
But then the wheels go (G) 'round
(C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G)

When the (G) new day begins
I go (C) down to the cotton (G) gin
And I make my time (D) worth while to them
Then I climb back up (G) again
And she waits by the door
Oh (C) Cotton Jenny I'm (G) sore
And she rubs my (D) feet while the sun goes down
And the wheels of love go  (G) 'round

Wheels of love go (C) 'round
Love go (G) 'round, love go (A) 'round
A joyful (D) sound
I ain't (G) got a penny 
For (C) Cotton Jenny to (D) spend
But then the wheels go (G) 'round
(C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G)

In the (G) hot, sickly South
When (C) they say we'll shut my  (G) mouth
I can never be (D) free from my cotton grind
But I know I got what's (G) mine
A soft southern flame
Oh (C) Cotton Jenny's her (G) name
She wakes me (D) up when the sun goes down
And the wheels of love go (G) 'round

Wheels of love go (C) 'round
Love go (G) 'round, love go (A) 'round
A joyful (D) sound
I ain't (G) got a penny
For (C) Cotton Jenny to (D) spend
But then the wheels go (G) 'round
(C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G) (C) (G)
