Tejumola is a name from the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria meaning "always seeking wealth". The short version of the name is Teju and is both a male and female name. If you ever meet a Teju/Tejumola, you must cherish this person and consider yourself lucky. They are generally energetic, fun, beautiful, and funny. They will most definitely bring joy to your life!
Example 1
Person 1: This party is sooo lame!
Person 2: I know! Where is Tejumola?! Let me bug her until she comes.
Song by folksinger Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997), telling the story of a girl named Caroline, who went to look for work in a valley named after Shawnee leader Tecumseh. She wants to earn money for her but also for her father, a miner. When she has earned enough to return home she receives the message that her father has died. Having lost all hope she becomes a prostitute and finally dies of unknown cause (broken heart?).
All in all a very strong and melancholic song by one of the great songwriters in American folk music. Townes Van Zandt is given credit by the documentary movie "Be Here to Love Me".
"The name she gave was Caroline Daughter of a miner
Her ways were free
It seemed to me
That sunshine walked 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"
