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
