Shenandoah

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
