Darcy Farrow
Words and music by Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell


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
