Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you   Look away, you rollin' river   Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      Now the Missouri is a mighty river   Look away, you rollin' river   Indians camp along her border      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden   Look away, you rollin' river   With notions his canoe was laden      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter   Look away, you rollin' river   It was for her, I'd cross the water      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      For seven long years, I courted Sally   Look away, you rollin' river   Seven more years, I longed to have her      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear   I'm bound to leave you   Look away you rollin' river   Shenandoah, I will not deceive you      Look away, we're bound away   Across the wide Missouri      Look away, we're bound away   Look away, we're bound away   Look away, we're bound away   ...
