Murray, Anne - Cotton Jenny Lyrics






There's a house on a hill
By a worn down weathered old mill
In a 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
And she wakes him up when the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round

When the new day begins, he goes down to the cotton gin
And he makes his time worth while to then
Then he climbs back up again
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny he's sore
And she rubs his feet while the sun goes down
And the wheel of love goes round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels of love go round, love go round
Love go round, a joyful sound

He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go round
Wheels go round
Wheels go round
Love go round
Love go round
Love go round

    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 wheels of love go 'round
    Wheels of love go 'round
    Love go 'round, love go 'round
    A joyful sound
    I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
    But then the wheels go 'round
    When the new day begins
    I go down to the cotton gin
    And I make my time worth while to them
    Then I climb back up again
    And she waits by the door
    Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
    And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
    And the wheels of love go 'round
    Wheels of love go 'round
    Love go 'round, love go 'round
    A joyful sound
    I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
    But then the wheels go 'round
    In the hot, sickly south
    When they say we'll shut my mouth
    I can never be free from the cotton grind
    But I know I 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 wheels of love go 'round
    Wheels of love go 'round
    Love go 'round, love go 'round
    A joyful sound
    I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
    But then the wheels go 'round
    Wheels go 'round
    'Round and 'round, hmm
