Shenandoah |
| Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you |
| Look away, you rollin' river |
| Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you |
| Look away. |
| we’re bound away |
| Across the wide missouri |
| Now the missouri is a mighty river |
| Look away, you rollin' river. |
| Indians camp along her border |
| Look away. |
| we’re bound away |
| Across the wide missouri |
| Well a white man loved an indian maiden |
| Look away, you rollin' river |
| With notions his canoe was laden |
| Look away, we’re bound away |
| Across the wide missouri |
| Oh shenandoah, i love your daughter |
| Look away, you rollin' river |
| It was for her i’d cross the water. |
| Look away, we’re bound away |
| Across the wide missouri |
| For seven long years i courted sally |
| Look away, you rollin' river |
| Seven more years i longed to have her |
| Look away, we’re bound away |
| Across the wide missouri |
| Well, it’s fare-thee-well, my dear, |
| I’m bound to leave you |
| Look away you rollin' river |
| Shenandoah, i will not deceive you |
| Look away, we’re bound away |
