"SHENANDOAH"

By: CONNIE DOVER

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

For seven years,
I courted Nancy.
Away, you rolling river.
No other girl
Would suit my fancy.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

She would not have
Me for her lover.
Away, you rolling river.
But I never
Courted any other.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

I heard she went
To Kansas City.
Away, you rolling river.
And there she had
A little baby.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

She must have had
Another lover.
Away, you rolling river.
I'll bet it was
A cavalry trooper.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah,
I love your daughter.
Away, you rolling river.
But, she'll never cross
That shining water.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
