O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we're bound away ′cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, we're bound away ′cross the wide Missouri

O Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, were bound away ′cross the wide Missouri
