Oh Shenandoah,  I long to hear you,
Away!  You rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,  I long to hear you,
Away!  We’re bound away,
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

The old Mizzoo has friendly waters,
Away!  You rolling river.
The Indians camp along it’s border,
Away!  We’re bound away,
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
 
Oh Shenandoah,  I love your daughter,
Away!  You rolling river.
I bring you tools and fire water,
Away!  We’re bound away,
‘Cross the wide Missouri.
