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,
I’ll take her
‘cross your rollin’ water,
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
‘Tis seven years
since last I saw you.
Away you rolling river,
‘Tis seven years
since last I saw you.
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah,
I love your daughter,
Away you rolling river,
Oh Shenandoah,
I’ll come to claim her.
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
In all these years,
Whene’er I saw her,
We have kept
Our love a secret,
Oh! Shenandoah,
I do adore her,
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah,
She’s bound to leave you.
Away you rolling river,
Oh Shenandoah,
I’ll not deceive you.
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
