[Verse 1]
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

[Verse 2]
For seven years I courted Sally
Away, you rolling river
For seven more I longed to love her
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

[Verse 3]
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to love you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, away
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
