Funny how things work out. I went and looked in my old fake book and found it. Than I gave the record a listen to and guess what? Lightfoot sings it the way it's transcribed.


COTTON JENNY   Time: 4/4 (sync)   


          1          *          4                      1
There's a house on a hill, by a worn down weathered old mill

                57                  *             *                   1
In the vally be-low where the river winds, there's no such thing as bad times

      *             *         4                  1
And a soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name

             57                   *             *                1
She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round



CHORUS:

                  4      *            1         *
Wheels of love go round, .... love go rou-ou-ou-ound

       2      *            5         *
Love go round, ... a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound

       1               4               5          *
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then

             1      4    1
The wheels go rou-ou-ou-ou-ound


         1          *          4                  1
When the new day be-gins, I go down to the cotton gin
             5                  *            *               1
And I make my time worthwhile to them, Then I climb back up a-gain
       *            *       4                1
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
            5                      *             *                1
She rubs my feet while the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round


       1          *                4                1
In the hot, sickly south, when they say "well shut my mouth"
               5                   *            *                1
I can never be free from the cotton grind, but I know I got what's mine
*             *         4                  1
A soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
             5                   *             *                1
She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheels of love go round


ENDING: 1 - 4, 1 - 4, 1
