Van Zandt, Townes - Darcy Farrow Lyrics
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 oer the range
Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down
Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights
That shone 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
And she promised to wed before the snows came that year
But her pony did stumble and she did fall
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain
And we buried them together as the snows began to fall
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

Absolute beauty even if the lyrics are sad............
Reminds me of wildlife by Michael Murphy
As a poem, a prayer, and and a promise, this is a true work of art. RIP troubadour.
What a touching and beautiful song
Indeed! I'm with you on that Pat.
I love this. Haunting and brings a tear to my eye as only John could do. I miss him and his music.
WELL SAID MATE !!
GOD BLESS ......
I can't help but sing with him.
This and My Sweet Lady are my favorites.
Where the Walker runs down
to the Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden,
Darcy Farrow was her name
The daughter of old Dundee,
and a fair one was she
The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range
Her voice was as sweet as sugar can be
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 at Yerington town
She was courted by young Vandermeer
A fine lad was he,
as I am to hear
He gave her silver rings
and lacy things
He promised to wed
before the snows came that year
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
We buried them together
as the snows began to fall
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
I think it's ..... "Where the WATER runs down" ?????
Amazing cover of a great song! Check out Matthews' Southern Comfort's version of this.
Really like Matthews' Southern Comfort' but John Denver is THE artist for this song!
Flawless. My favorite Denver tune. And I’m not even a big fan.
Love him too
One of the best things he did, bar none. This is my favorite John Denver album.
