| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan (arr.)
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin'
river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away. We're bound away
Across the wide
Missouri
Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin'
river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. We're bound away
Across the wide
Missouri
Well a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin'
river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide
Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It
was for her I'd cross the water.
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide
Missouri
For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin'
river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away
Across the
wide Missouri
Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you
Look
away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound
away
Across the wide Missouri |
