《Tecumseh Valley》歌词

[00:00:00] Tecumseh Valley - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:07] The name she gave

[00:00:10] Was caroline

[00:00:13] Daughter of a miner

[00:00:19] And her ways were free

[00:00:23] And it seemed to me

[00:00:26] The sunshine

[00:00:29] Walked beside her

[00:00:37] She came to spencer

[00:00:40] Across the hill

[00:00:43] She said her

[00:00:45] Pa had sent her

[00:00:49] 'cause the coal was low

[00:00:52] And soon the snow

[00:00:56] Would turn the

[00:00:58] Skies to winter

[00:01:06] She said she's come

[00:01:09] To look for work

[00:01:12] She was not seeking favors

[00:01:18] For a dime a day and a place to stay

[00:01:25] She'd turn those hands to labor

[00:01:35] But the times were hard lord and the jobs were

[00:01:39] Few

[00:01:40] All through tecumseh valley

[00:01:47] But she asked around and a job she found

[00:01:53] Tending bar at gypsy sally's

[00:02:04] She saved enough to get back home

[00:02:10] When spring replaced the winter

[00:02:16] But her dreams were denied her pa had died

[00:02:23] The word come down from spencer

[00:02:33] So she turned a whorin' out on the streets

[00:02:39] With all the lust inside her

[00:02:45] And it was many a man returned again

[00:02:51] To lay himself beside her

[00:03:02] They found her down beneath the stairs

[00:03:08] That led to gypsy sally's

[00:03:14] In her hand when she died was a note that

[00:03:19] Cried

[00:03:20] Fare thee well tecumseh valley

[00:03:57] The name she gave was caroline

[00:04:02] Daughter of a miner

[00:04:08] And her ways were free and it seemed to me

[00:04:15] The sunshine walked beside her
