Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, just to be near you

Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, across the water

Away, we're bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I’m going to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I want to see you
Away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri
