Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you.

Away, I'm bound away, ’cross the wide Missouri.

’Tis seven years since last I saw you

And heard that rolling river.

’Tis seven years since last I saw you.

Away, I'm far away, ’cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I hear you calling,

Through the music of the river.

Oh, Shenandoah, I hear you calling.

Away, I'm gone away, ’cross the wide Missouri.
