cotton jenny

Gordon Lightfoot



 GCG
 There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill
 D
In the vally below where the river winds there's no such thing as bad
 G
 times
 CG
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
 DD
She wakes me up when the sun goes down and the wheel of love goes round


 CG
Cho..     Wheels of love go round love go rou __ __ ound
 AD
           Love go round  a joyful sou __ __ ound
 GCD
           I ain't got a penny if a Cotton Jenny to spend but then
 GCG
           The wheels go round  

Then a new day begins I go down to the cotton gin
And I make my time worthwhile to them then I climb back up again
And she waits by the door oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down and the wheel of love goes round

Cho..

In the hot sickly south when they say "well shut my mouth"
I can never be free from the cotton grind but I know I got what's mine
With a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
She wakes me up when the sun goes down and the wheel of love goes round

Cho..
