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 I'll take her 'cross Your rollin' water Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri
'Tis seven years I've been a rover Away you rolling river When I return I'll be your lover 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
