Shenandoah Songtext
von Shank Painters

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rollin′ river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

The Missouri she′s a mighty river
Away, you rollin' river
When she rolls down, her topsails shiver
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin′ river
From far across the open water
Away, we′re bound away across the wide Missouri


For seven long years, I courted Sally
Away, you rollin' river
I courted her down in her valley
Away, we′re bound away across the wide Missouri

She said she would not be my lover
Away, you rollin' river
Because I was a dirty sailor
Away, we′re bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin′ river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rollin′ river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we′re bound away across the wide Missouri
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri
Away, we′re bound away across the wide Missouri
