Cotton Jenny

There's a house on a hill
By a worn down, weathered old mill
In the valley below, where the river winds
There's no such thing as bad times

And 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

Wheel of love go 'round
Love go 'rou roun round
Love go 'round
A joyful sound

I ain't got a penny
For Cotton Jenny to spend
But then
The wheel go 'round

When 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

Then 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

Wheel of love go 'round
Love go 'rou roun round
Love go 'round
A joyful sound

I ain't got a penny
For Cotton Jenny to spend
But then
The wheel go 'round

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've 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

Wheel of love go 'round
Love go 'rou roun round
Love go 'round
A joyful sound
I ain't got a penny

For Cotton Jenny to spend
But then
The wheel go 'round
The wheel go 'round
'Round and 'round
