Oh, Shenandoah's my native valley.
Aa-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah is my native valley.
Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah, it's far I wander.
Aa-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah, it's far I wander.
Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah has rushing waters.
Aa-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah has rushing waters.
Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughters.
Aa-way, you rolling river!

Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you.
Aa-way, you rolling river!

Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah, I'm boun' t' leave you.
Aa-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah, I'm boun' t' leave you.
Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!

Oh, Shenandoah, I'll never grieve you.
Aa-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah, I'll never grieve you.
Ah-way, we're bound to go,
'cross th' wide Missouri!
