There's a house on a hill, a [D] mile worn down weathered [A] old mill,
valley [E] below where the ripple winds.
There's no such thing as [A] bad times in a soft southern plain.
[D] Oh, Cotton Jenny's [A] her name.

There's a house _ on a hill, _ a [D] mile worn down weathered [A] old mill,
in the valley [E] below where the ripple winds. _
There's no such thing as [A] bad times in a soft southern plain. _ _
[D] Oh, Cotton Jenny's [A] her name.
She wakes [E] me up when the sun goes down
and the wheel of love [A] goes round, wheels of love [D] go round. _ _ _ _
Love [A] go _ round, _ _ love [B] go round, _ _ _ a joyful [E] _ _ sound. _ _
I [A] ain't got a penny [D] for Cotton Jenny [E] to spend,
but then the wheels [A] go round. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
When the new day begins, _ [D] I go down to the Cotton [A] Gin
and I make [E] my time worthwhile to them. _
Then I climb back up [A] again and she wakes by the door. _
[D] Oh, Cotton Jenny, [A] I'm sore and she rubs [E] my feet
while the sun goes down _ and the wheel of love
[A] goes round, wheels of love [D] go round. _ _ _ _
Love go [A] _ _ round, _ _ love [B] go round, _ _ _ a joyful [E] _ _ sound. _ _
I [A] ain't got a penny for [D] Cotton Jenny [E] to spend,
but then the wheels [A] go round.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] In [A] my heart, _ sickly south, _ [D] when the sea whale shut my [A] mouth,
I could never [E] be free from the cotton grain, _
but I know I've got [A] what's mine _ with a soft _ southern plain. _
[D] Oh, Cotton [A] Jenny's her name.
She wakes [E] me up when the sun goes down
and the wheel of love [A] goes round, wheels of love [D] go round. _ _ _ _
Love [A] go _ round, _ _ love [B] go round, _ _ _ a [E] joyful _ sound. _ _
I [A] ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny [E] to spend,
_ but then the wheels [A] go round.
_ _ [A] _
Wheels go round, _ _ _ [D] round and round. _ _ _ _ _
