Lightfoot Gordon - Cotton Jerry guitar tab

Cotton Jenny

By Gordon Lightfoot

From the LP Summer Side Of Life

Transcribed by Dan Nicholas

[G]There's a house on a hill by a [C]worn down weathered old [G]mill

In the vally be[D]low where the river winds there's no such thing as bad

[G]times

And a soft southern flame oh [C]Cotton Jenny's her [G]name

She wakes me [D]up when the sun goes down and the wheel of love goes [D]round

Cho.. Wheels of love go [C]round love go [G]rou __ __ ound

Love go [A]round a joyful [D]sou __ __ ound

I ain't [G]got a penny if a [C]Cotton Jenny to [D]spend but then

The wheels go rou[G]nd [C] [G]

Then a 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 oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore

And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down and the wheel of love goes round

Cho..

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

Cho..

[G][C] [G][C] [G][C] [G][C] [G][C] [G][C] [G][C]

Wheel go round round & round mmm mmmm
