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.
Oh Shenandoah,
I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river.
For her I’d cross,
Your roaming waters.
Away, I’m bound to go,
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
‘Tis seven years since last I saw you,
Away, you rolling river,
‘Tis seven years since last I’ve seen you,
Away, I’m bound to go
Across the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
And hear your rolling river,
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away, I’m bound to go
Across the wide Missouri.
