O Shenandoah - Traditional

 Oh Shenandoah, are you calling?

Hi-o, you rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you

Hi-o, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri

"O Shenandoah, I love your daughter

Along this rolling river

I'll take her 'cross the rolling water"

Hi-o, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri

The chief disdained the trader's dollars

Away, on yon rolling river

"My daughter never you shall follow."

Ah-ha, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri

At last there came a Yankee skipper

On down the rolling river

He winked his eye and he tipped his flipper

Ah-ha, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri

He sold the chief that fire-water

What say you, rolling river?

‘Cross the river they stole his daughter

Ah-ha, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri

Missouri, she's a mighty river

Hi-o, you rolling river

When she rolls down, her topsails shiver

Hi-o, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri
