Where
the wal-ker runs down thru the Carson Valley Plain
There lived a
maiden Darcy Farrow was her name.
The daughter
of Old Dundee and fair one was she
The sweetest
flower that bloomed over the range.
Her voice was
as sweet as the sugar can-dy
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
She promised
to wed before the snows came that year
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 thru his brain
We buried them
togeher as the snow began to fall.
They sing of Darcy
Farrow where the Truckee runs thru
They sing of
her beauty in Virginia City, too.
At dusky sun-down
to her name they drink a round
And to young
Van-dy whose love was true.
