Verses
lord have mercy on my mind
mercy on my memory
I'm lying neath the same Virginia sky
where she lay beside me, biding time
trying to abide me
every night when the night was long
she was clinging to me
told me twice that her love was strong
stronger than the love in old love songs
she was singing to me
Chorus
o, o, Shenandoah
cross the rolling water
o, o, Shenandoah
where's your restless daughter?
