townes van zandt – tecumseh valley (1968 version) lyrics
[verse 1]
the name she gave was caroline
the daughter of a miner
well her ways were free, and it seemed to me
sunshine walked beside her
[verse 2]
she said she’d come to look for work
she was not seekin’ favors
for a dime a day and a place to stay
she’d turn those hands to labor
[verse 3]
but the times were hard, lord and the jobs were few
all through tec-mseh valley
but she asked around and a job she found
tending bar for gypsy sally
[verse 4]
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
[verse 5]
she turned to walkin’ down the road
from all the hate inside her
and it was many a man returned again
to walk that road beside her
[verse 6]
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, tec-mseh valley”
