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.

 

Instrumental 

​

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.

Shenandoah
