Darcy Farrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plain There lived a 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 [Verse 2] Her voice was as sweet as the sugar can be Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights That shine in the night out at Yerington town [Verse 3] She was courted by young Vandermeer A fine lad was he, as I am to hear He gave her silver rings and lacy things She promised to wed before the snows came that year [Verse 4] But her pony did stumble, and she did fall Her dying touched the hearts of us, one and all Young Vandy, in his pain, put a bullet through his brain We buried them together as the snows began to fall [Verse 5] 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
