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
