O Shanadar, I love your daughter
Ch: Hooray, you rolling river
Shanadar, I love your daughter
Ch: Ha Ha... I'm bound away
to the wild Missouri
O seven years I courted Sally.
And seven more I couldn't gain her.
She said I was a tarry sailor.
Farewell my dear I'm bound to leave you;
I'm bound away but will ne'er deceive you.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Ch: Away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Ch: Away, I'm bound to go... cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter.
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee,
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee.
Oh Shenandoah, I took a notion
To sail across the stormy ocean.
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you.
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
