          E5           E5          A5             E5
Where the walker runs down to the Carson Valley Plain
              E5            E5              B5
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name
    E5               E5           A5            E5
The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she
    A5        E5           A5                E5
The sweetest flower that bloomed over the range

    E5            E5           A5        E5
Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy
                 E5        E5            B5
Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down
    E5          E5              A5      E5
Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights
     A5            E5            A5          E5
That shine in the night out of Yerrington town

E5       E5         A5          E5
She was courted by Young Vandamere
               E5    E5       B5
A fine lad was he as I am to hear
   E5               E5        A5    E5
He gave her silver rings and lacy things
        A5           E5              A5               E5
And she promised to wed before the snows came that year

        E5        E5          A5       E5
But her pony did stumble and she did fall
                      E5           E5       B5
Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all
      E5            E5         A5                  E5
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain
       A5             E5             A5              E5
And we buried them together as the snows began to fall

E5 E5 A5 E5  E5 E5 B5  E5 E5 A5 E5  A5 E5 A5 E5

     E5             E5               A5            E5
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through
                 E5                 E5    B5
They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too
   E5        E5          A5                 E5
At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round
    A5        E5           A5        E5
And to young Vandy whose love was true
