[Verse 1: Colm McGuinness]
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river!
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away!
Across the wide Missouri

[Verse 2: Savannah Simpson, Colm & Savannah]
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river!
For her, I'd cross your roaming water
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

[Verse 3: Colm, Colm & Savannah]
She'd caught the eye of wanderin' trappers
Away, you rolling river!
And there I knew I had to snap her
Away, I'm bound away!
Across the wide Missouri

[Verse 4: Colm, Colm & Savannah]
Oh for her, I would have no other
Away, you rolling river!
She would not take me for a lover
Away, I'm bound away!
Across the wide Missouri
[Verse 5: Colm, Colm & Savannah]
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river!
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away!
Across the wide Missouri

[Outro: Both]
Across the wide Missouri!
Across the wide Missouri!
