GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Cotton Jenny lyrics

rate me

There's a house on a hill<br>By a worn down weathered old mill<br>In the valley below where the river winds<br>There's no such thing as bad times<br>And a soft southern flame<br>Oh cotton jenny's her name<br>She wakes me up when the sun goes down<br>And the wheels of love go 'round<br>Wheels of love go 'round<br>Love go 'round, love go 'round<br>A joyful sound<br>I ain't got a penny for cotton jenny to spend<br>But then the wheels go 'round<br><br>When the new day begins<br>I go down to the cotton gin<br>And I make my time worth while to them<br>Then I climb back up again<br>And she waits by the door<br>Oh cotton jenny I'm sore<br>And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down<br>And the wheels of love go 'round<br><br>Wheels of love go 'round<br>Love go 'round, love go 'round<br>A joyful sound<br>I ain't got a penny for cotton jenny to spend<br>But then the wheels go 'round<br><br>In the hot, sickly south<br>When they say we'll shut my mouth<br>I can never be free from the cotton grind<br>But I know I got what's mine<br>She's a soft southern flame<br>Oh cotton jenny's her name<br>She wakes me up when the sun goes down<br>And the wheels of love go 'round<br><br>Wheels of love go 'round<br>Love go 'round, love go 'round<br>A joyful sound<br>I ain't got a penny for cotton jenny to spend<br>But then the wheels go 'round
