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
