Oh shenandoah I long to see you away you rolling river
Shenandoah I long to see you away I'm bound to way across the wide missouri
Oh shenandoah I love your daughter away you rolling river
Shenandoah I'll cross your waters away I'm bound to way across the wide missouri
Cross the wide missouri
Oh shenandoah I'm gonna leave you away you rolling river
Oh shenandoah I long to see you away I'm bound to way across the wide missouri
Cross the wide missouri
Farewell my love I'm gonna leave you away you rolling river
Shenandoah I not deceive you away I'm bound to way across the wide missouri
Cross the wide missouri
