[Verse 1]
Well the name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free, and it seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her
[Verse 2]
She come from Spencer, across the hill
She said her pa had sent her
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter
[Verse 3]
Well, she said she'd come to look for work
She was not seekin' favors
And for a dime a day and a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor
[Verse 4]
But the times were hard, Lord and the jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around till a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
[Verse 5]
Well she saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied, her pa had died
Well the word come down from Spencer
Well the name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
And her ways were free, and it seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her
[Verse 2]
She come from Spencer, across the hill
She said her pa had sent her
'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter
[Verse 3]
Well, she said she'd come to look for work
She was not seekin' favors
And for a dime a day and a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor
[Verse 4]
But the times were hard, Lord and the jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around till a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
[Verse 5]
Well she saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied, her pa had died
Well the word come down from Spencer
