[Verse]
          A              
There's a house on a hill
     D                       A   
By a worn down weathered old mill
              E                          
In the valley below where the river winds
                             A    
There's no such thing as bad times
      A                  
And a soft southern flame


[Chorus]
D                     A   
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
             E                        
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
                           A     
And the wheel of love goes 'round
                 D     
Wheel of love go 'round
        A              
Love go 'rou roun round
        B     
Love go 'round
         E    
A joyful sound
        A          
I ain't got a penny
D                   E    
For Cotton Jenny to spend
    E   
But then
             A     
The wheel go 'round

[Verse]
D      A             
When a new day begins
     D                  A  
I go down to the cotton gin
              E                      
And I make my time worthwhile to them
       E7            A    
Then I climb back up again
         A                
Then she waits by the door


[Chorus]
D                   A   
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
                E                           
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
        E7                 A     
And the wheel of love goes 'round
                 D     
Wheel of love go 'round
                  A    
Love go 'rou roun round
        B     
Love go 'round
         E    
A joyful sound
        A          
I ain't got a penny
D                   E    
For Cotton Jenny to spend
    E   
But then
             A     
The wheel go 'round

[Verse]
D      A               
In the hot sickly south
          D                A    
When they say well shut my mouth
               E                         
I can never be free from the cotton grind
                           A   
But I know I've got what's mine
       A                  
With a soft southern flame


[Chorus]
D                     A   
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
          E                           
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
                           A    
And the wheel of love goes round
                 D     
Wheel of love go 'round
             A         
Love go 'rou roun round
        B7    
Love go 'round
         E    
A joyful sound
        A          
I ain't got a penny
D                   E    
For Cotton Jenny to spend
    E   
But then
