I don't hear any rock'n'roll in it, either. Seems even more country than most, and such is the subject matter of the song. Are you sure it's "Cotton Jenny" you're thinking of?

I think "Spin, Spin" and "Movin'" are both great songs, and...

Certainly not a Lightfoot song that was ever recorded, and if it was on the radio I'd assume it must have been recorded by someone. I find no evidence of it, either, and would further suggest that it...

"Oh, Linda" (from Lightfoot! in 1966) is played using only an upright bass and the snapping of fingers. Cool song.
