[Intro]
G C/G G7 C/G x4
[Verse]
G There's a house on a hill C G By a worn down weathered old mill D In the valley be-low where the river winds G There's no such thing as bad times G And a soft southern flame C G Oh Cotton Jenny's her name D And she wakes me up when the sun goes down G And the wheels of love go round
[Chorus]
G C Wheels of love go round G A Love go round, love go round D What a joyful sound G C D I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend G But then the wheels go round
G C/G G7 C/G x2
[Verse]
G When a new day begins C G I go down to the cotton gin D And I make my time worth while to them G Then I climb back up a-gain G And she waits by the door C G Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore D And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down G And the wheel of love goes round
[Chorus]
G C Wheels of love go round G A Love go round, love go round D A joyful sound G C D I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend G But then the wheels go round
G C/G G7 C/G x2
[Verse]
G In the hot, sickly south C G When they say we'll shut my mouth D I can never be free from the cotton grind G But I know I got what's mine G She's a soft southern flame C G Oh Cotton Jenny's her name D She wakes me up when the sun goes down G And the wheels of love go round
[Chorus]
G C Wheels of love go round G A Love go round, love go round D A joyful sound G C D I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend G But then the wheels go round G C/G G7 C/G (repeat and fade)
