Tecumseh Valley - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
Name she gave was Caroline[00:00:11]
The daughter[00:00:17]
Of a miner[00:00:20]
And her ways were free and it seemed to me[00:00:23]
That the sunshine walked beside her[00:00:29]
She come from Spencer[00:00:35]
Acoss the hill[00:00:38]
She said her Pa had sent her[00:00:42]
'Cause the coal was low[00:00:48]
And soon the snow[00:00:51]
Would change[00:00:54]
The skies to winter[00:00:57]
She said she'd come to look for work[00:01:00]
She was not seeking favors[00:01:07]
For a dime a day and a place to stay[00:01:13]
She'd turn those hands to labor[00:01:19]
But the times were hard Lord[00:01:25]
The jobs were few[00:01:28]
All through Tecumseh Valley[00:01:32]
But she asked around[00:01:37]
And a job she found[00:01:41]
Tending bar[00:01:44]
For Gypsy Sally[00:01:47]
She saved enough[00:01:50]
To get back home[00:01:53]
When spring replaced the winter[00:01:57]
But her dreams were denied[00:02:03]
Her Pa had died[00:02:06]
The word came down from Spencer[00:02:10]
She turned to walking in the streets[00:02:21]
With all the lust inside her[00:02:28]
It was many a man[00:02:34]
Returned again[00:02:38]
To lay himself beside her[00:02:42]
They found her down[00:02:51]
Beneath the stairs[00:02:54]
That led to Gypsy Sally's[00:02:58]
In her hand when she died[00:03:04]
Was a note that cried[00:03:07]
Fare thee well[00:03:12]
Tecumseh Valley[00:03:14]
Name she gave[00:03:24]
Was Caroline[00:03:26]
The daughter of a miner[00:03:30]
And her ways were free[00:03:36]
And it seemed to me[00:03:40]
That the sunshine[00:03:44]
Walked beside her[00:03:47]
Fare thee well[00:03:53]
Tecumseh Valley[00:03:56]
