Tecumseh Valley - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]

The name she gave[00:00:07]

Was caroline[00:00:10]

Daughter of a miner[00:00:13]

And her ways were free[00:00:19]

And it seemed to me[00:00:23]

The sunshine[00:00:26]

Walked beside her[00:00:29]

She came to spencer[00:00:37]

Across the hill[00:00:40]

She said her[00:00:43]

Pa had sent her[00:00:45]

'cause the coal was low[00:00:49]

And soon the snow[00:00:52]

Would turn the[00:00:56]

Skies to winter[00:00:58]

She said she's come[00:01:06]

To look for work[00:01:09]

She was not seeking favors[00:01:12]

For a dime a day and a place to stay[00:01:18]

She'd turn those hands to labor[00:01:25]

But the times were hard lord and the jobs were[00:01:35]

Few[00:01:39]

All through tecumseh valley[00:01:40]

But she asked around and a job she found[00:01:47]

Tending bar at gypsy sally's[00:01:53]

She saved enough to get back home[00:02:04]

When spring replaced the winter[00:02:10]

But her dreams were denied her pa had died[00:02:16]

The word come down from spencer[00:02:23]

So she turned a whorin' out on the streets[00:02:33]

With all the lust inside her[00:02:39]

And it was many a man returned again[00:02:45]

To lay himself beside her[00:02:51]

They found her down beneath the stairs[00:03:02]

That led to gypsy sally's[00:03:08]

In her hand when she died was a note that[00:03:14]

Cried[00:03:19]

Fare thee well tecumseh valley[00:03:20]

The name she gave was caroline[00:03:57]

Daughter of a miner[00:04:02]

And her ways were free and it seemed to me[00:04:08]

The sunshine walked beside her[00:04:15]
