John Denver - Darcy Farrow

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
Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy
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 of Yerrington town
She was courted by Young Vandamere
A fine lad was he as I am to hear
He gave her silver rings and lacy things
And she promised to wed
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 through 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 beauty in Virginia City too
At dusky sundown
to her name they drink a round
and to young Vandy whose love was true
