C CFC
The name she gave was Caroline
F FCC
Daughter of a miner
F F EmAm
And her ways were free and it seemed to me
G G FFCC
The sunshine walked beside her
C C F C
She came from Spencer across the hill
F F CC
She said her Pa had sent her
F F EmAm
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
G G FFCC
Would turn the skies to winter
C C F C
She said she'd come to look for work
F FCC
She was not seeking favor
F F EmAm
For a dime a day and a place to stay
G G FFCC
She turned those hands to labor
C C F C
But the times were hard, Lord, and the jobs were few
F FCC
All through Tecumseh Valley
F F EmAm
She'd ask around, and a job she found
G GFFCC
Tendin' bar at Gypsy Sally's
C C F C
She saved enough to get back home
F F CC
And spring replaced the winter
F F EmAm
But her dreams were denied, her Pa had died
G G FFCC
The word come down from Spencer
