John Denver - Darcy Farrow Lyrics
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 concertThe best of john denver live albums.Where the walker runs down to the carson valley plainThere lived a maiden, darcy farrow was her nameThe daughter of old dundee and a fair one was sheThe sweetest flower that bloomed oer the rangeHer voice was as sweet as the sugar candyHer touch was as soft as a bed of goose downHer eyes shone bright like the pretty lightsThat shone in the night out of yerrington townShe was courted by young vandamereA fine lad was he as I am to hearHe gave her silver rings and lacy thingsAnd she promised to wed before the snows came that yearBut her pony did stumble and she did fallHer dyin touched the hearts of us one and allYoung vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brainAnd we buried them together as the snows began to fallThey sing of darcy farrow where the truckee runs throughThey sing of her beauty in virginia city tooAt dusky sundown to her name they drink a roundAnd to young vandy whose love was trueWords and music by steve gillette and tom campbell
