Darcy Farrow Lyrics - All Of My Memories: The John Denver Collection - John Denver

Where the Walker runs down to 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 

Her voice was as sweet as 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 

She was courted by young Vandermeer 

A fine lad was he, as I am to hear 

He gave her silver rings and lacy things 

He promised to wed before the snows came that year 

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

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
