Nanci Griffith Tecumseh Valley Lyrics

The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
And her ways were free, An' it seemed to me
The sunshine walked beside her

She came from Spencer, across the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
'Cause the coal was low, and soon the snow
Would turn the, skies to winter

She said she'd come, to look for work
She was not seeking favors
And for a dime a day, and a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor

But the times were hard Lord
The jobs were few, all through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around, and a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's

She saved enough, to get back home
When spring, replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied, her Pa had died
The word come down from Spencer

So she turned a whorin', out on the streets
With all the l___ inside her,
And it was many a man, returned again
To lay himself beside her

They found her down, beneath the stairs
That led to Gypsy Sally's
In her hand when she died, was a note that decried
Fare thee well...Tecumseh Valley

Lead

Repeat first verse
