Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Far away, We're bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river
I'll take her across the rolling water
Far away, We're bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your nancy,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, She took my fancy
Far away, We're bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.

We're bound away for California,
Away, you rolling river
It's far away from West Virginia
AFar away, We're bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, Now I must leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Far away, We're bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.
