- COTTON JENNY Time: 4/4 (sync) Tenor: G Bass: C - D (C)
-
-
- 1 * 4 1
- There's a house on a hill, by a worn down weathered old mill
-
- 57 * * 1
- In the vally be-low where the river winds, there's no such thing as bad times
-
- * * 4 1
- And a soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
-
- 57 * * 1
- She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round
-
-
-
- CHORUS:
-
- 4 * 1 *
- Wheels of love go round, .... love go rou-ou-ou-ound
-
- 2 * 5 *
- Love go round, ... a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound
-
- 1 4 5 *
- I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then
-
- 1 4 1
- The wheels go rou-ou-ou-ou-ound
-
-
- 1 * 4 1
- When the new day be-gins, I go down to the cotton gin
- 5 * * 1
- And I make my time worthwhile to them, Then I climb back up a-gain
- * * 4 1
- And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
- 5 * * 1
- She rubs my feet while the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round
-
-
- 1 * 4 1
- In the hot, sickly south, when they say "well shut my mouth"
- 5 * * 1
- I can never be free from the cotton grind, but I know I got what's mine
- * * 4 1
- A soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
- 5 * * 1
- She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round
-

- ENDING: 1 - 4, 1 - 4, 1
