Standard (EADGBE)
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
(HOLD ) /B (WALK DOWN)
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away. We're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
(***The rest of the lyrics are not in order how they would be as recorded by
TBT, I may have even left out a verse or two. I had to get the lyrics someplace
else cause I don't have time to sift through the whole song and arrange them.
You get the idea though!)
LYRICS:
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
