| lyric | 1. Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river!
Oh Shenandoah, I can’t be near you.
Away, I’m bound away, ’cross the wide Missouri.
2. Missouri she’s a mighty river,
The Indians camp along its borders.
3. Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
I’ve crossed for her the rolling water.
4. The chief, he made an awful holler,
He turned away all of my dollars.
5. I sold the chief some fire water,
And got him drunk and stole his daughter.
6. 0h, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Oh, Shenandoah, I’ll not deceive you. |
