Lyrics
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
The Missouri, she's a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river
Indians camp along her borders (ah-ah)
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri (wide Missouri)
A white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
And with notions, his canoe was laden (ooh-ooh)
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri (wide Missouri)
You said, "Shenandoah, I love your daughter"
Look away, you rollin' river
And it was for her, I'd cross the water (ooh-ooh)
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri (wide Missouri)
For it's fair to you well, I'm bound to leave you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you (ooh-ooh)
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri (wide Missouri)
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, we're bound away (ooh-ooh)
Across the wide Missouri
Shenandoah, I long to see you
Shenandoah
Shenandoah, I long to see you (Shenandoah)
Shenandoah, ah (oh, Shenandoah)
