lyrics or other text: | Oh, shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rolling 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 rolling 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 rolling 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 rolling 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 rolling river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri
