Shenandoah Songtext
von Roger McGuinn

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Way, you rolling river
I′ll take her across yon rolling water
Away, we're bound away
′Cross the wide Missouri

The chief disdained the trader's dollars
Way, you rolling river
My daughter you shall never follow
Away, we're bound away
′Cross the wide Missouri


For seven years I courted Sally
Way, you rolling river
For seven more I longed to have her
Away, we′re bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
She said she would not be my lover
Way, you rolling river
Because I was a tarry sailor
Away, we′re bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Away, we′re bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
At last there came a Yankee skipper
Way, you rolling river
He winked his eye and tipped his flipper
Away, we′re bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
He sold the chief that fire water
Way, you rolling river

And 'cross the river he stole his daughter
Away, we′re bound away
′Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Way, you rolling river
I'll take her ′cross that rolling water
Away, we're bound away
′Cross the wide Missouri
