Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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
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 rouououound
Love go round
A joyful souououound
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go rououououound

When the 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
She rubs my feet while the sun goes down
And the wheels of love go round

Wheels of love go round
Love go rouououound
Love go round
A joyful souououound
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go rououououound

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
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 rouououound
Love go round
A joyful souououound
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go rououououound
