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
