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 |
