Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,
away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,
away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, it's far I wander,
away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, it's far I wander,
away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.
