Il testo della Shenandoah

Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you

Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

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

Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
Look away, we're bound away
