Words: Traditional

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,/ away you rolling river./ Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you, away, I'm bound away,/ 'cross the wide Missouri.

O, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,/ Away, you rolling river--/ O, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,/ Away, we're bound away,/ 'cross the wide Missouri.

O, Shenandoah, I long to see you,/ Away, you rolling river--/ O, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,/ Away, we're bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.

O, seven years, I've been a rover,/ Away, you rolling river--/ For seven years I've been a rover,/ Away, we're bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.

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,/ For her I'd cross your roaming water,/ 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.
