OhShenandoahI long to hear you
Look awayyou rollin river
OhShenandoahI long to hear you
Look away. We re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look awayyou 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 awayyou rollin river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look awaywe re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh ShenandoahI love your daughter
Look awayyou rollin river
It was for her I d cross the water.
Look awaywe re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
For seven long years I courted Sally
Look awayyou rollin river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look awaywe re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Wellit s fare-thee-wellmy dear
I m bound to leave you
Look away you rollin river
ShenandoahI will not deceive you
Look awaywe re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
