Where the walker runs down through 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 candy   Her touch was as soft as a bed of eider down   Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights   That shine in the night out of Yerrington town      She was courted by a young Vandamere   And quite handsome was he as I'm to hear   He gave her silver rings and lacy things   And she promised to wed before the snows came that year   [ guitar ]   But her pony he did stumble and he did fall   Her dying cut the hearts from us one and all    Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet in his brain    And we buried them together as the snow began to fall   [ guitar ]   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
