Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
For her I'd cross your roaming waters,
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
'Tis seven years since last I've seen you,
Away, you rolling river.
'Tis seven years since last I've seen you,
Away, we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
