Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away. were bound away
Across the wide missouri

Now the missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin river.

Look away. were 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, were bound away
Across the wide missouri

Oh shenandoah, i love your daughter
Look away, you rollin river
It was for her id 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, were bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well, its fare-thee-well, my dear,
Im bound to leave you
Look away you rollin river
Shenandoah, i will not deceive you
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide missouri
