Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I am bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin’ river
For her I'd cross the stormy waters
Away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I am bound to leave you
Away, you rollin’ river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I am bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I am bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Across the wide Missouri
