TECUMSEH VALLEY
CCFC The name she gave was Caroline FFCC Daughter of a miner FFEmAm And her ways were free and it seemed to me GGFFCC The sunshine walked beside her
She came from Spencer across the hill She said her Pa had sent her 'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow Would turn the skies to winter
She said she'd come to look for work She was not seeking favor For a dime a day and a place to stay She turned those hands to labor
But the times were hard, Lord, and the jobs were few All through Tecumseh Valley She'd ask around, and a job she found Tendin' bar at Gypsy Sally's
She saved enough to get back home And spring replaced the winter But her dreams were denied, her Pa had died The word come down from Spencer
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets With all the lust inside her And it was many a man returned again To lay himself beside her
They found her down beneath the stairs That led to Gypsy Sally's And in her hand when she died was a note that cried "Fare thee well, Tecumseh Valley".
