This is our arrangement of the beautiful, traditional tune "Shenandoah."
lyrics
Chorus:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Verse 1:
The old Missouri is a mighty water
Away, you rolling river
The Indians camp along her border
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Verse 2:
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
For her I'd cross the stormy waters
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Chorus:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Verse 3:
Seven long years I courted Sally
Away, you rolling river
Seven more I longed to have her
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Verse 4:
Now it’s farewell, dear, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
Chorus:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri
