By townes van zandt[00:00:01]
The name she gave was caroline[00:00:13]
Daughter of a miner[00:00:21]
Her ways were free[00:00:26]
It seemed to me[00:00:29]
That sunshine walked beside her[00:00:34]
She came from spencer[00:00:44]
Across the hill[00:00:48]
She said her pa had sent her[00:00:52]
'Cause the coal was low[00:00:57]
And soon the snow[00:01:00]
Would turn the skies to winter[00:01:05]
She said she'd come[00:01:15]
To look for work[00:01:18]
She was not seeking favors[00:01:23]
And for a dime a day[00:01:27]
And a place to stay[00:01:31]
She'd turn those hands to labor[00:01:35]
But the times were hard lord[00:01:45]
The jobs were few[00:01:48]
All through tecumseh valley[00:01:53]
But she asked around[00:01:58]
And a job she found[00:02:01]
Tending bar at gypsy sally's[00:02:06]
She saved enough to get back home[00:02:16]
When spring replaced the winter[00:02:24]
But her dreams were denied[00:02:30]
Her pa had died[00:02:33]
The word come down from spencer[00:02:37]
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets[00:02:48]
With all the lust inside her[00:02:55]
And it was many a man[00:03:00]
Returned again[00:03:03]
To lay himself beside her[00:03:08]
They found her down beneath the stairs[00:03:18]
That led to gypsy sally's[00:03:26]
In her hand when she died[00:03:31]
Was a note that cried[00:03:34]
Fare thee well tecumseh valley[00:03:39]
The name she gave was caroline[00:03:49]
Daughter of a miner[00:03:58]
Her ways were free[00:04:02]
It seemed to me[00:04:05]
That sunshine walked beside her[00:04:07]
