G
There's a house on a hill
     G
By a worn down weathered old mill
                 D
In the valley be-low where the river winds
                             G
There's no such thing as bad times
G

And a soft southern flame
   G
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
                 D
And she wakes me up when the sun goes down
                          G
And the wheels of love go round

Chorus
C
Wheels of love go round
        A
Love go round, love go round
              D
What a joyful sound
        D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
                       G
But then the wheels go round

G
When the new day begins
     G
I go down to the cotton gin
              D
And I make my time worth while to them
                       G
Then I climb back up a-gain
G
And she waits by the door
   G
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
                D
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
                          G
And the wheels of love go round
C
Wheels of love go round
        A
Love go round, love go round
              D
What a joyful sound
        D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
                       G
But then the wheels go round

G
In the hot, sickly south
          G
When they say we'll shut my mouth
               D
I can never be free from the cotton grind
                        G
But I know I got what's mine
G
She's a soft southern flame
   G
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
             D
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
                          G
And the wheels of love go round
C
Wheels of love go round
        A
Love go round, love go round
              D
What a joyful sound
        D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
                       G
But then the wheels go round
