Cotton Jenny Written by - Gordon Lightfoot From - Summer Side Of Life 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 wheel of love goes '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 worthwhile to them Then I climb back up again And she waits by the door For Cotton Jenny I'm sore And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down And the wheel of love goes '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, 'Well, 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 wheel of love goes '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 The wheels go 'round Round and round Mmm... ©Early Morning Music |
