Cotton Jenny — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

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 `round, love go `round
A joyful sound
I ain`t got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go `round

When the new day begins
I go down to the cotton gin
And I make my time worth while 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 wheels of love go `round

Wheels of love go `round
Love go `round, love go `round
A joyful sound
I ain`t got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go `round

In the hot, sickly South
When they say we`ll shut my mouth
I can never be free from the cotton grind
But I know I got what`s mine
She`s 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 `round, love go `round
A joyful sound
I ain`t got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
But then the wheels go `round
