Shenandoah Lyrics

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, were 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, its fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
