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, we're 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, it's fare thee well, my dear, I'm bound to leave you
Look away, you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
