TECUMSEH VALLEY

C C F C

The name she gave was Caroline

F F C C

Daughter of a miner

F F Em Am

And her ways were free and it seemed to me

G G F F C C

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".
