Joe Ely - Tecumseh valley

^CThe name she gave was ^FCaro^Cline, The ^Fdaughter of a ^Cminer, And ^Fher ways were ^Cfree and it ^G/Bseemed to^Am7 me, ^GThe sunshine walked ^Fbeside her,

^CShe come from Spencer ^Facross the ^Chill, She ^Fsaid her Pa had ^Csent her, The co^Fal was ^Clow and ^G/Bsince the ^Am7snow, Would ^Gturn the skies to ^Fwinter.

^CShe said she'd come to ^Flook for ^Cwork, She ^Fwas not seeking ^Cfavors, For a ^Fdime a ^Cday and a ^G/Bplace to ^Am7stay, She'd ^Gturn those hands to ^Flabor.

^CWell the times were hard Lord the ^Fjobs were ^Cfew, ^FAll through Tecumseh ^CValley, But she ^Fasked a^Cround and a ^G/Bjob she ^Am7found, Tending ^Gbar for Gypsy ^FSally.

^CShe saved enough to ^Fget back ^Chome, When ^Fspring replaced the ^Cwinter, But her ^Fdreams were ^Cdenied her^G/B Pa had ^Am7died, When the ^Gword came down from ^FSpencer.

^CShe turned to whorin' out ^Fon the ^Cstreets, With^F all the lust inside ^Cher, It was ^Fmany a ^Cman re^G/Bturned ag^Am7ain, To ^Glay himself ^Fbeside her.

^CWell they found her down ^Fbeneath the ^Cstairs, That ^Fled to Gypsy ^CSally's, In her ^Fhand when she ^Cdied, was a ^G/Bnote that ^Am7cried, Fare thee ^Gwell Tecumseh ^FValley.

^CThe name she gave was ^FCaro^Cline, The ^Fdaughter of a ^Cminer, And her ^Fways were ^Cfree and it ^G/Bseemed to ^Am7me, The ^Gsunshine walked beside ^Fher.^C
