Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, we’re bound away, ‘cross the wide Missour-ai
Oh Shenandoah, I took a notion…
To sail across the stormy ocean…
Oh Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you
But Shenandoah, I’ll not deceive you
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughters
I love the music of your waters
‘Tis seven long years since last I see’d you
But Shenandoah, I’ll never grieve you
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
