Shenandoah Songtext
von The Browns

By Bob Dylan (arr.)

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin′ 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 rollin′ 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 rollin' 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 rollin′ 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 rollin' 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 rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
