Oh Shenandoah Songtext
von Hirundo Maris

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
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

For seven years, I courted seven years
Look away, you rolling river
Seven more years, I longed to have her
Look away, we′re bound away
Across the wide Missouri


Well, it's fare thee well, my dear, I'm bound to leave you
Look away, you rolling river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we′re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
