《Tecumseh Valley(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] By townes van zandt

[00:00:13] The name she gave was caroline

[00:00:21] Daughter of a miner

[00:00:26] Her ways were free

[00:00:29] It seemed to me

[00:00:34] That sunshine walked beside her

[00:00:44] She came from spencer

[00:00:48] Across the hill

[00:00:52] She said her pa had sent her

[00:00:57] 'Cause the coal was low

[00:01:00] And soon the snow

[00:01:05] Would turn the skies to winter

[00:01:15] She said she'd come

[00:01:18] To look for work

[00:01:23] She was not seeking favors

[00:01:27] And for a dime a day

[00:01:31] And a place to stay

[00:01:35] She'd turn those hands to labor

[00:01:45] But the times were hard lord

[00:01:48] The jobs were few

[00:01:53] All through tecumseh valley

[00:01:58] But she asked around

[00:02:01] And a job she found

[00:02:06] Tending bar at gypsy sally's

[00:02:16] She saved enough to get back home

[00:02:24] When spring replaced the winter

[00:02:30] But her dreams were denied

[00:02:33] Her pa had died

[00:02:37] The word come down from spencer

[00:02:48] So she turned to whorin' out on the streets

[00:02:55] With all the lust inside her

[00:03:00] And it was many a man

[00:03:03] Returned again

[00:03:08] To lay himself beside her

[00:03:18] They found her down beneath the stairs

[00:03:26] That led to gypsy sally's

[00:03:31] In her hand when she died

[00:03:34] Was a note that cried

[00:03:39] Fare thee well tecumseh valley

[00:03:49] The name she gave was caroline

[00:03:58] Daughter of a miner

[00:04:02] Her ways were free

[00:04:05] It seemed to me

[00:04:07] That sunshine walked beside her
