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 |
