Tecumseh Valley

C        C  F     C
The name she gave was Caroline
         F     F    C C
Daughter of a miner
             F       F        Em 
And her ways were free and it 
     Am
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  
'Cause the coal was low and soon 
     Am
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 
For a dime a day and a place to 
    Am
stay
         G        G      F      F
She turned those hands to labor
 C C

          C         C      F     
But the times were hard, Lord, and 
C
the jobs were few
            F   F   C    C
All through Tecumseh Valley
              F      F       
She'd ask around, and a job she 
Em       Am
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  
But her dreams were denied, her 
    Am
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   
And it was many a man returned 
    Am
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   
And in her hand when she died was
    Am
 a note that cried
          G        G     F     F 
"Fare thee well, Tecumseh 
  C C
Valley".
