Tecumseh Valley (Live at the Old Quarter) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well the name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free, and it seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her

[Verse 2]
She come 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

[Verse 3]
Well, she said she'd come to look for work
She was not seekin' favors
And for a dime a day and a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor

[Verse 4]
But the times were hard, Lord and the jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around till a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's

[Verse 5]
Well she saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied, her pa had died
Well the word come down from Spencer

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
Well 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"

[Verse 8]
Well the name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free, and it seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her
