- Written by Steve Gillette an Tom Campbell
More than 50 years ago, in Southern Calfornia, a young Steve Gillette was just learning how to write songs when his little sister Darcy had a brush with a feisty horse, inspiring a now-familiar ballad: "Darcy Farrow" has become part of the folk music lexicon, performed and recorded hundreds of times.
Gillette, says the melody for the song came from a guitar part he’d been working on which was inspired by a Pete Seeger composition.
Gillette was a young folk singer just getting his start when, in 1964, his 12-year-old sister Darcy was kicked by a horse.
She wasn’t hurt badly, but the incident became the idea for the song which Gillette wrote with his friend Tom Campbell.
The lyrics tell the story of a young women who dies in a fall from a horse, and a young man named Vandermeer who was so despondent he took his own life.
