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