[1] Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Look a-[4]-way you rolling [1] river
Oh [6m] Shenandoah I long to [4] hear you
Look [1] away I'm bound a-[3m]-way across the [4] wide [5] Missou-[1]-ri

The Missouri she's a mighty river
Look away you rolling river
Indians camp along her borders
Look away I'm bound away across the wide Missouri

A white man loved and Indian maiden
Look away you rolling river
And with notions his canoe was laden
Look away I'm bound away across the wide Missouri

He said Shenandoah I love your daughter
Look away you rolling river
And it was for her I'd cross the waters
Look away I'm bound away across the wide Missouri

For it's fare thee well I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I won't deceive you
Look away I'm bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Look away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
Look away I'm bound away across the wide Missouri
