Cotton Jenny

COTTON JENNY Time: 4/4 (sync) Tenor: G Bass: C - D (C)

1 * 4 1

There's a house on a hill, by a worn down weathered old mill

57 * * 1

In the vally be-low where the river winds, there's no such thing as bad times

* * 4 1

And a soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name

57 * * 1

She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round

4 * 1 *

Wheels of love go round, .... love go rou-ou-ou-ound

2 * 5 *

Love go round, ... a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound

1 4 5 *

I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then

1 4 1

The wheels go rou-ou-ou-ou-ound

1 * 4 1

When the new day be-gins, I go down to the cotton gin

5 * * 1

And I make my time worthwhile to them, Then I climb back up a-gain

* * 4 1

And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore

5 * * 1

She rubs my feet while the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round

1 * 4 1

In the hot, sickly south, when they say "well shut my mouth"

5 * * 1

I can never be free from the cotton grind, but I know I got what's mine

* * 4 1

A soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name

5 * * 1

She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round
