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. Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, you rolling river. For her I’d cross the rolling water, Away, I’m bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri. 'Tis seven years since last I’ve seen her, Away, you rolling river. And seven more will I return to her, Away, I’m bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri. 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.
