Gordon Lightfoot

Cotton Jenny (Audio)

There's a house on a hill
by a worn down, weathered old mill,
in the valley below, where the river winds,
there's no such thing as bad times.

And a soft southern flame,
oh, Cotton Jenny's her name
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes 'round.

(Chorus:)
Wheels of |: love go 'round :|
Love go 'round, a joyful sound
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then wheels go 'round.

When a new day begins
I go down to the cotton gin
And I make my time worthwhile to them
Then I climb back up again.

Then 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 love goes 'round.

Chorus

In the hot, sickly south,
when they say, well shut my mouth
I can never be free from the cotton grind

But I know I've got what's mine,
with a soft southern flame
Oh, Cotton Jenny's her name
she wakes me up when the sun goes down,
and the wheel of love goes round.

Chorus

But then wheels go 'round
The wheel goes 'round, 'round and 'round.
