I named my daughter Darcy because of this song as we live by the Truckee River not far from Yerington Town. As well I never let her ride a horse but for young Vanda Meres I had less say.
This song was first recorded in 1965 by Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker aka Ian & Sylvia. Worth listening to for a comparison. Ian died in December, 2022. He was 89. Hopefully he’s riding high above in the short grass.

The lyrics are perfection.
John was a genius - and this is my favourite song of his incredible collection.
And so glad I saw him 'live' once in London.
Always loved this song
John Denver - beautiful voice. Passed away far too young. Thanks Joanne. Love from Thailand.
Yes. Imagine how many beautiful songs he would have written if he had lived
