Shenandoah
Oh, [G]Shenandoah, I long to [C/G]hear [G]you
Look [C/G]away, you rollin' [G]river
Oh, [C/G]Shenandoah, I long to [G]hear you
Look [G]away, we're [C/G]bound a[G]way
A[G/B]cross the [C]wide [/B]Mis[/A]sou[G]ri.
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.
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.
