1st verse:
G G C C G G
There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill

D D
In the vally bellow where the river winds

G G
There's no such thing as bad times

C C G G
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
D D
She wakes me up when the sun goes down

G G
and the wheel of love goes round


Chorus:
C C G G
Wheels of love go round love go round

A A D D
Love go round a joyful sound

G G C C D D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then

G G C C G G
The wheels go round

G G C C G G
Then a new day begins I go down to the cotton gin

D D
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

G G
love goes round

In the hot sickly south when they say "well shut my mouth"

I can never be free from the cotton grind

With a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
