O Shenandoah, I hear you calling, Hio! you rolling river, O Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Hio! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri. Missouri she's a mighty river, Hio! you rolling river, When she rolls down her topsails shiver, Hio! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri. Farewell, my dearest, I'm bound to leave you; Hio! you rolling river, O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you, Hio! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri.
