Nanci Griffith - Darcy Farrow lyrics

(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
