Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Darcy Farrow LYRICS

Where the walker runs down through the Carson Valley Plain

There lived a maiden Darcy Farrow was her name

The daughter of old Dundee and fair one was she

The sweetest flower that bloomed over the range



Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy

Her touch was as soft as a bed of eider down

Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights

That shine in the night out of Yerrington town



She was courted by a young Vandamere

And quite handsome was he as I'm to hear

He gave her silver rings and lacy things

And she promised to wed before the snows came that year

[ guitar ]

But her pony he did stumble and he did fall

Her dying cut the hearts from us one and all

Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet in his brain

And we buried them together as the snow began to fall

[ guitar ]

They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through

They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too

At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round

And to young Vandy whose love was true
