Cross the Wide Missouri (arr. D. Besig and N. Price)

Away
I'm bound away (I'm bound away)
cross the wide Missouri
the water is wide
but I must cross o'er
give me a boat
to take me home
my true love waits
on yonder shore
so far away
so long alone
but love is gentle
and love is kind
and love can soothe
a lonely heart
the more we seek
the more we find (find, we will find)
love keeps us strong (love keeps us strong though we're apart) though we're apart
for it's many long years
since last I saw you
away, you rollin' river
and still I know
I have not lost you
away
I'm bound away (I'm bound away)
cross the wide Missouri
the water is wide
but I must cross o'er
no more can I
be all alonemy future waits
on yonder shore (shore, yonder shore)
send me a boat (send me a boat to take me home) to take me home
to take me home
cross the wide Missouri
