Testo Tecumseh Valley - Bobby Bare
Testo della canzone Tecumseh Valley (Bobby Bare), tratta dall'album Down & Dirty
The name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
That 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 change the skies to winter
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
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 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 walking in the streets
With all the lust inside her
There was many a man who turned to then
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 cried
Fare thee well Tecumseh Valley
The name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
That the sunshine walked beside her
Fare thee well Tecumseh Valley
