O Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rollin' river.
O Shenandoah, I long to see you.
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri.
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rollin' river.
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river.
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri.
For seven long years I've been a rover,
Away, you rollin' river,
But I'll return to be your lover,
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri.
