Oh Shenandoah,
I long to hear you.
Away, 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,
I’d cross your rolling waters.
Away, I'm bound away
'cross the wide Missouri.

For seven years,
I’ve been a rover.
Away, you rolling river!
When I return, I’ll be,
I’ll be your lover.
Away, I’m bound away
'cross the wide Missouri.
​
Oh Shenandoah,
I’m bound to leave you.
Away, you rolling river!
Oh Shenandoah,
I’ll not deceive you.
Away, I’m bound away
'cross the wide Missouri.
​
Away, I’m bound away
'cross the wide Missouri.
