You rolling river The Indians camp along its border Away! We’re bound away ’Cross the wide Missouri. A white man loved an Indian lady Away! You rolling river The daughter of Chief Shenandoah Away! We’re bound away ’Cross the wide Missouri. 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. Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
