Darcy Farrow Lyrics - Other Voices, Too (a Trip Back To Bountiful) - Nanci Griffith

(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
