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 Across the wide missouri |
