Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Far away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away. I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

For seven years I courted Sally
Far away, you rollin' river
For seven more I longed to love her
Away. I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I bound to leave you
Far away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, away
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you...
