Lyrics:
Name she gave was CarolineThe daughter of a minerAnd her ways were free and it seemed to meThat the sunshine walked beside her.She come from Spencer acoss the hillShe said her Pa had sent herCause the coal was low and soon the snowWould change the skies to winter.Said she'd come to look for workShe was not seeking favorsFor a dime a day and a place to stayShe'd turn those hands to labor.But the times were hard Lord the jobs were fewAll through Tecumseh ValleyBut she asked around and a job she foundTending bar for Gypsy Sally.She saved enough to get back homeWhen spring replaced the winterBut her dreams were denied her Pa had diedThe word came down from Spencer.She turned to walkin' in the streetsWith all the lust inside herIt was many a man returned againTo lay himself beside her.They found her down beneath the stairsThat led to Gypsy Sally'sIn her hand when she died was a note that criedFare thee well Tecumseh Valley.Name she gave was CarolineThe daughter of a minerAnd her ways were free and it seemed to meThat the sunshine walked beside her.Fare thee well Tecumseh Valley...
