shenandoah

Lyrics

the missouri, she's a might river, away you rolling river, the red man's camp lies on her borders, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, a white man loved an indian maiden, away you rolling river, with notions sweet his canoe was laden, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, o shenandoah, i love your daughter, away you rolling river, i'll take her 'cross the rolling water, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, the chief disdained the trader's dollars, away you rolling river, my daughter never you shall follow, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, at last there came a yankee skipper, away you rolling river, he winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, he sold the chief that fire-water, away you rolling river, and 'cross the river he stole his daughter, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri, o shenandoah, i long to hear you, away you rolling river, across the wide and rolling water, away, we're bound away across the wide, missouri
