(Traditional)

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you away you rolling river
Shenandoah, I long to see you away
I'm bound away across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter away you rolling river
Shenandoah, I'll cross your waters away
I'm bound to way across the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri.

--- Instrumental ---

(Oh Shenandoah, I'm gonna leave you away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you away
I'm bound to way across the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri.)

Farewell my love I'm gonna leave you away you rolling river
Shenandoah, I did not deceive you away
I'm bound to way across the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri...
