 Tecumseh Valley  crd
  Written by: Townes Van Zandt
 Recorded by Steve Earle on Train A Comin'
          (G)The name she gave was (C)Caro(G)line
        The (C)daughter of a (G)miner
        and her (C)ways were free and it (G)seemed to (Em) me
        The (D) sunshine walked (C) beside her
 
        (G)she came from Spencer (C) 'cross the (G) hill
        She said (C) her Pa had (G) sent Her
        Cause the (C)coal was low and soon (G) the (Em)snow
        would (D) turn the skies to (C) winter
 
        well she said she'd come to look for work
        she was not seeking favors
        for a dime a day and a place to stay
        She'd turn those hands to labor
 
        The times were hard Lord the jobs were few
        All through Tecumseh Valley
        But she asked around and a job she found
        Tending Bar for Gypsy Sally
 
        She saved enough to get back home
        When spring replaced the winter
        But her dreams were denied her Pa had died
        The word came down from Spencer
 
        She turned to whorin' out in the streets
        with all the list inside her
        It was many a man returned again
        To lay himself beside her
 
        Well they found her down beneath the stairs
        That led to Gypsy Sally's
        In her hand when she died
        was a note that cried
        Fare thee well Tecumseh Valley
