Gordon Lightfoot "Cotton Jenny" |
There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill and valley below where the river winds there's no such thing as bad times on a soft southern plain oh Cotton Jenny's her name she wakes me up when the sun goes down and the wheels of love go round wheel of love goes round love goes round love goes round joyful sound I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then the wheel goes round when a new day begins I go down to the cotton gin where I make my time worthwhile to them then I climb back up again then 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 joyful sound I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny yo 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've got whats mine when the soft southern plain 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 joyful sound I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then the wheel goes round the wheel goes round round and round Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
