Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
|
I look away, rolling river
|
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
The chief disdained the trader's dollars
|
Look away, rolling river
|
My daughter, you shall never follow.
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
For seven years, he put it sadly
|
I look away, rolling river
|
For seven more, he longed to have her
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
She said she would not be my lover
|
Look away, rolling river
|
Because I was a dirty sailor
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
It's "Fare thee well," I'm bound to leave you
|
I look away, rolling river
|
Oh Shenandoah, I would not deceive you
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
At last, there came a Yankee skipper
|
Look away, rolling river
|
He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
Oh Shenandoah, I love you daughter
|
I look away, rolling river
|
I take her across the open water
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
|
Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
|
