Lyrics:

The name she gave was CarolineThe daughter of a minerAnd her ways were free and it seemed to meThe sunshine walked beside herShe come from Spencer 'coss the hillShe said her Pa had sent her'Cause the coal was low and soon the snowWould tuwn the skies to winterWell she 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 laborThe 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 SpencerShe turned to whorin' out on the streetsWith all the lust inside herIt was many a man returned againTo lay himself beside herWell they found her down beneath the stairsThat led to Gypsy Sally'sIn her hand when she diedWas a note that criedFare thee well Tecumseh Valley
