Darcy Farrow Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Album: Best Of John Denver Live

This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the Rocky Mountain High album, and it has also been released on the Changes album. A live version also appears on The Wildlife Concert and The Best of John Denver Live albums.

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 oer 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 shone 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

Words and music by Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell

by Tom Helfrick on 3/16/2009 1:04am The song touches everyone's heart and emotions. You get teary eyed sad but lovingly happy that young Vandamere was true to Darcy Farrow! It also makes me think of the song Barbra Allen as sung by Joan Baez on her second album when she was singing traditional ballads, in particular because the man's love for Barbra Allen was unrequited but in death, the rose grew round the briar!
by nvzephyr on 4/8/2009 12:35pm The Walker doesn't run down to the Carson Valley plain.
by Tom Helfrick on 4/16/2009 2:59am "Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plain" The Walker River begins its run in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains and crosses into western Nevada near Topaz, south of Carson City, through the Walker River Canyon and past the old mineing town of Yerington.
