Shenandoah

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear ya
(Away, you rolling river)
Oh Shenandoah, I can't get near ya
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

Oh Shenandoah, I took a notion
(Away, you rolling river)
To sail across that stormy ocean
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave ya
(Away, you rolling river)
But in my dreams I'm bound to hear ya
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

For seven long years I caught a nancy
(Away, you rolling river)
For seven long years she took me fancy
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

And then she went to Kansas City
(Away, you rolling river)
So far away to Kansas City
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

And there she had her shush-shush baby
(Away, you rolling river)
Oh there she had that shush-shush baby
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

I guess she's got another lover
(Away, you rolling river)
I've a-heard she's lodgin' with a soldier
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)

Farewell, my dear, I'm bound to leave ya
(Away, you rolling river)
I'm bound away and I won't deceive ya
(Away, I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri)
