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
C C F C
She came from Spencer across the hill
F F C C
She said her Pa had sent her
F F Em Am
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
G G F F C C
Would turn the skies to winter
C C F C
She said she'd come to look for work
F F C C
She was not seeking favor
F F Em Am
For a dime a day and a place to stay
G G F F C C
She turned those hands to labor
C C F C
But the times were hard, Lord, and the jobs were few
F F C C
All through Tecumseh Valley
F F Em Am
She'd ask around, and a job she found
G G F F C C
Tendin' bar at Gypsy Sally's
C C F C
She saved enough to get back home
F F C C
And spring replaced the winter
F F Em Am
But her dreams were denied, her Pa had died
G G F F C C
The word come down from Spencer
C C F C
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
F F C C
With all the lust inside her
F F Em Am
And it was many a man returned again
G G F F C C
To lay himself beside her
C C F C
They found her down beneath the stairs
F F C C
That led to Gypsy Sally's
F F Em Am
And in her hand when she died was a note that cried
G G F F C C
"Fare thee well, Tecumseh Valley".
