Shenandoah

from Some Kind of Cure by David Berkeley

lyrics

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away, I'm going away,
Cross the wide Missouri.

‘Tis seven long years since I last saw you.
Away you rolling river.
‘Tis seven long years since I last saw you.
Away I'm going away,
Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter.
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter.
Away, I'm going way,
Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away, I'm going away,
Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I'll never leave you.
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, don't want to leave you.
Away, I'm going away,
Cross the wide Missouri.
