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