Nanci Griffith - Darcy Farrow lyrics

Where the Walker runs down into
The Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden Darcy
Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and
A fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed
O'er the range

She was courted by young Vandermeer
And quite handsome was he I am to hear
He brought her silver rings and lacy things
And they promised to marry before
The snows came that year

But her pony did stumble and she did fall
Her dyin' touched the hearts of us
One and all young Vandy in his pain put
A bullet in his brain
And we buried them together as
The snows began to fall

They sing of Darcy Farrow where
The Truckee runs through
They sing of her beautyin Virginia City too
At dusty sundown to her name
They drink a round
And to young Vandy whose love was true

Where the Walker runs down into
The Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden Darcy
Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee and
A fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed
O'er the range
