C                F        C
The name she gave was Caroline
F                 C
The daughter of a miner
        F
And her ways were free
       C    G     Am
And it seemed to  me
     G                 F        C
That sunshine walked beside her


C                     F            C
She come from Spencer, across the hill
F                   C
She said her pa had sent her
          F
Cause the coal was low
    C  G     Am
And soon the snow
      G                    F     C
Would turn the skies to winter.


C                  F             C
She said she'd come to look for work
F                   C
She was not seekin' favors
          F
And for a dime a day
      C   G    Am
And a place to stay
      G                     F     C
She'd turn those hands to labor


C                        F                  C
The times were hard Lord, and the jobs were few
F                    C
All through Tecumseh Valley
        F
But she asked around
      C  G    Am
And a job she found
        G              F      C
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's


C               F            C
She saved enough to get back home
F                        C
When spring replaced the winter
        F
But her dreams were denied
    C  G     Am
Her pa  had  died
    G                       F     C
The word come down from Spencer.


C                       F            C
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
F                   C
With all the lust inside her
           F
And it was many a man
      C   G    Am
Who returned  again
   G                   F    C
To lay himself beside her.


C                  F             C
They found her down beneath the stairs
F                 C
That led to Gypsy Sally's
           F
And in her hand when she died
      C  G      Am
Was a note that cried
          G                 F     C
Fare-thee-well, Tecumseh Valley


C                F        C
The name she gave was Caroline
F                 C
The daughter of a miner
        F
And her ways were free
       C    G     Am
And it seemed to  me
     G                 F        C
That sunshine walked beside her
