Oh, Shenandoah I long to see thee
Ref: Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see thee
Ref: Away, I’m bound to go, cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah I love your daughter
Oh, Shenandoah I love your daughter

It’s been seven long years since last I see thee
Oh, seven long years since last I see thee

Oh, Shenandoah I took a notion
to sail across the western ocean!

Oh, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave thee
Oh, but Shenandoah I’ll not deceive thee!
