Earle Steve - "Tecumseh Valley" lyrics
*** Complimentary Tecumseh Valley Ringtone ***
The name she gave was Caroline
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
The sunshine walked beside her
the daughter of a miner
She come from Spencer 'cross the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
Would tuwn the skies to winter
She was not seeking favors
Well she said she'd come to look for work
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
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
The sunshine walked beside her
the daughter of a miner
She come from Spencer 'cross the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
Would tuwn the skies to winter
She was not seeking favors
Well she said she'd come to look for work
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
But she asked around and a job she found
All through Tecumseh Valley
Tending bar for Gypsy Sally
When spring replaced the winter
She saved enough to get back home
But her dreams were denied her Pa had died
She turned to, whorin' out on the streets
The word came down from Spencer
With all the lust 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
Fare thee well Tecumseh ValleyWas a note that cried
All through Tecumseh Valley
Tending bar for Gypsy Sally
When spring replaced the winter
She saved enough to get back home
But her dreams were denied her Pa had died
She turned to, whorin' out on the streets
The word came down from Spencer
With all the lust 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
Fare thee well Tecumseh ValleyWas a note that cried
*** Complimentary Tecumseh Valley Ringtone ***
