Shenandoah
Language: English 
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
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri
This white man loves your Indian maiden,
Away, you rolling river
In my canoe with notions laden,
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri
Farewell, goodbye, I shall not grieve you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you,
Away, we 're bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.
