Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rollin' river
O, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away I'm bound to go 'cross the wide Missouri

'Tis seven long years since I last saw you
Away, you rollin' river

Away I'm bound to go 'cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
O, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away I'm bound to go 'cross the wide Missouri
