Shenandoah Songtext
von Colm R. McGuinness

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I′m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
For her, I'd cross your roaming water
Away, I′m bound away
Across the wide Missouri


She caught the eye of wandering trappers
Away, you rolling river
And there I knew I had to snap her
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh, for her, I would have no other
Away, you rolling river
She would not take me for a lover
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I′m bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I′ll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Across the wide Missouri
Across the wide Missouri
