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

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I 'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
