Darcy Farrow
[Verse 1]
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 on the range

[Verse 2]
Her voice was sweeter than sugar can be
Her touch as soft as a bed of goose down
Her eyes shone bright like the gray, silver lights
That shine in the night out at Yerington town

[Verse 3]
She was courted by young Vandermeer
And a finer lad was he than many you will hear
He gave her silver rings and he gave her pretty things
And she promised to wed before the snows fell that year

[Verse 4]
But 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
And we buried them together as the snows began to fall

[Verse 5]
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 so true
[Verse 5]
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 blooms on the range
