Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear youLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriNow the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river
Indians camp along her borderLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriWell, a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was ladenLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriOh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her, I'd cross the waterLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriFor seven long years, I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin' river
Seven more years, I longed to have herLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriWell, it's fare-thee-well, my dear
I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive youLook away, we're bound away
Across the wide MissouriLook away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
