Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away…you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away...We're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
The old Missouri is a mighty water
Away... you rollin' river
The indians camp along her border
Away...We're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
A white man loved an Indian maiden
Away...you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Away...we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away...you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away...we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away...you rollin' river
Oh I'll not deceive you
Away...we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
