Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
A------way you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
A way I’m bound a way ‘cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
A-----way you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
Away I’m bound a way ‘cross the wide Missouri
‘Tis seven long years since last I saw you
A---way you rolling river
‘Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away I’m bound away ‘cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
A---way you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I’ll come to claim her
Away I’m bound away ‘cross the wide Missouri
