The times were hard, Lord, [F] and the jobs were [C] few.
[F] All through Tecumseh [C] Valley, [F] what'd she ask around, and a [B] job [Am] she found.
[C] A tent and bar, [G] a gypsy [F] sally, [C]
she saved enough [F] to get [C] back home.
[F] Spring replaced [C] the winter, but [F] her dreams were denied.
[C] Her paw [A] had [Am] died.
The [G]
word come down [F] from Spencer, [Dm] [C]
so she turned to whoring [F] out on [C] the streets,
[F] with all the lust [C] inside her.
And [F] it was many a man returned [C] [Am] again, [G] to lay himself [F] beside her.

They found her down [F]
beneath the [C] stairs,
