there’s a house on a hill
C G
by a worn down weathered old mill
D
in the valley be – low where the river winds
G
there’s no such thing as bad times
G
and a soft southern flame
C G
oh cotton jenny’s her name
D
and she wakes me up when the sun goes down
G
and the wheels of love go round

chorus
G C
wheels of love go round
G A
love go round , love go round
D
what a joyful sound
G C D
i ain’t got a penny for cotton jenny to spend
G
but then the wheels go round
