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, Your roaming waters. Away, I'm bound to go, 'Cross the wide Missouri.
'Tis seven years since last I saw you, Away, you rolling river, 'Tis seven years since last I've seen you, Away, I'm bound to go Across the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you, And hear your rolling river, Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you, Away, I'm bound to go Across the wide Missouri.
