Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.
This white man love your Indian maiden,
Away, you rolling river.
In my canoe with notions laden,
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.
Farewell, goodbye, I shall not grieve you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,
Away, we're bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.
