Oh Shenandoah (1820)
2-50
(wm) Folk Song, abridged
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, away, I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, away you rolling river
I’ll take her ’cross your rollin’ water, away, I’m bound away
‘Cross 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 away
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
