richard thompson – shenandoah lyrics
oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
look away, you rollin’ river
oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
look away. we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
now the missouri is a mighty river
look away, you rollin’ river.
indians camp along her border
look away. we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
well a white man loved an indian maiden
look away, you rollin’ river
with notions his canoe was laden
look away, we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
oh shenandoah, i love your daughter
look away, you rollin’ river
it was for her i’d cross the water.
look away, we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
for seven long years i courted sally
look away, you rollin’ river
seven more years i longed to have her
look away, we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
well, it’s fare-thee-well, my dear,
i’m bound to leave you
look away you rollin’ river
shenandoah, i will not deceive you
look away, we’re bound away
across the wide missouri
