  			C                              F                       C 
There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill 

              G7 
In the valley be-low where the river winds 
  
                             C 
There's no such thing as bad times 

                             F                  C 
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name 

             G7 
She wakes me up when the sun goes down  

                          C 
And the wheels of love go round 

  
                  F              C 
Wheels of love go round  love go roun-d 

        D7              G7 
Love go round  a joyful soun-d 

        C               F               G7 
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then 

              C 
The wheels go roun-d 

  
                              F                  C 
When the new day be-gins I go down to the cotton gin 

              G7 
And I make my time worthwhile to them  

                       C 
Then I climb back up a-gain 

                             F                C 
And she waits by the door oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore 

            G7 
She rubs my feet while the sun goes down  

                          C 
And the wheels of love go round 

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

               G7 
I can never be free from the cotton grind  

                        C 
But I know I got what's mine 

                          F                  C 
A soft southern flame  oh Cotton Jenny's her name 

             G7 
She wakes me up when the sun goes down  
  
                          C 
And the wheels of love go round
