Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide missouri
Shenandoah, I took a notion
Away, you rolling river
To sail across the stormy ocean
Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide missouri
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
Away, you rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide missouri
Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide missouri
