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

'Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away you rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I saw you

Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you

Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
