Shenandoah Lyrics

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you Look away, you rollin' river Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
Now the Missouri is a mighty river Look away, you rollin' river Indians camp along her border
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden Look away, you rollin' river With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter Look away, you rollin' river It was for her, I'd cross the water
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
For seven long years, I courted Sally Look away, you rollin' river Seven more years, I longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear I'm bound to leave you Look away you rollin' river Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away Across the wide Missouri
Look away, we're bound away Look away, we're bound away Look away, we're bound away ...
