River Songs - The Water Is Wide-Shenandoah Songtext
von Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin

The water is wide, I cannot get o′er
And I neither have the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
A ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I′m in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound to go across the wide Missouri
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I′ll not deceive you
Away, I′m bound to go across the wide Missouri
Away, I'm bound to go across the wide Missouri
Across the wide Missouri
