The name she gave [F] was [C] Caroline, [F] the daughter of [C] a miner

sunshine [F] walked beside her

[C] And soon [Am] the snow would [G]
change, and the [F] skies would winter
She said [C] she'd come [F] to look for [C] work
She [F] was not seeking [C] favors
For [F] a dime a day, and a [C] place to stay
[G] She turned those hands [F] to labor
The times [C] were hard, Lord, the jobs were few
[F] All through Tecumseh [C] Valley
But [F] she asked around, and [C] a job she [Am] found
[G] Tending bars for Gypsy [F] Sally
She [C] saved enough
[F] to get [C] back home
