Lyrics

[00:30.00] Where the Walker runs down
[00:32.09] throw the Carson Valley plain.
[00:36.06]
[00:38.07] There lived a maiden,
[00:40.07] Darcy Farrow was her name.
[00:46.02] The daughter of old Dundee
[00:48.09] and fair one was she.
[00:54.01] The sweetest flower
[00:56.07] that bloomed o'er the range.
[01:00.05]
[01:01.05] Her voice was as sweet
[01:06.01] as the sugar candy.
[01:10.03] Her touch was as soft
[01:13.05] as a bed of goose down.
[01:18.02] Her eyes shone bright
[01:20.09] like the pretty lights.
[01:26.02] That shine in the night
[01:29.00] out of Yerrington town.
[01:32.01]
[01:34.08] She was courted
[01:37.08] by young Vandermeer,
[01:43.04] fine led was he
[01:46.06] as I am to hear.
[01:51.03] He gave her silver rings
[01:54.04] and lacy things.
[01:57.00]
[01:59.07] She promised to wed
[02:02.05] before the snows came that year.
[02:07.07] Her pony did stumble
[02:11.01] and she did fall.
[02:16.02] Her dyin' touched the hearts
[02:18.07] of us one and all.
[02:22.02]
[02:24.08] Young Vandy in his pain,
[02:27.04] put a bullet through his brain.
[02:32.04] We buried them together
[02:35.01] as the snows began to fall.
[02:38.02]
[02:42.03]
[02:49.03]
[02:57.05]
[03:05.06]
[03:12.00]
[03:14.00] They sing of Darcy Farrow
[03:17.04] where the Truckee runs through.
[03:22.07] They sing of her beauty
[03:25.01] in Virginia City, too.
[03:28.05]
[03:30.01] At dusty Sundown
[03:33.06] to her name
[03:34.08] they drink a round.
[03:38.08] To young Vandy
[03:42.00] whose love was true.
[03:44.06]
[03:47.09]
[03:54.00]
[04:00.07]
