Cotton Jenny
recorded by Anne Murray
written by Gordon Lightfoot
 
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
