  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

  S2:
  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

  S3:
  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

  S4:
  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

  S5:
  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
