one of my favorites is from "Tecumseh Valley"
She saved enough to get back home
when spring replaced the winter
but her dreams were denied
her pa had died
the word come down from Spencer
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
with all the lust inside her
and it was many a man
returned again
to lay himself beside her
They found her down beneath the stairs
that led to Gypsy Sally's
in her hand when she died
was a note that cried
fare thee well... Tecumseh valley
