Nanci Griffith - Darcy Farrow lyrics

rate me

(Tom Campbell - Steve Gillette)

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
