Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away, I'm bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah,
I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
For her I'd cross,
Your roaming waters,
Away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

'Tis seven years,
since last I've seen you,
Away, you rolling river.
'Tis seven long years,
since last I've seen you,
Away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah's
my native valley.
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah's
my native valley.
Away, we're bound away,
'cross the wide Missouri.
