O Shenandoah, I hear you calling, Hi-O! you rolling river, O Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Hi-O! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri
Missouri she's a mighty river, Hi-O! you rolling river, When she rolls down her top sails shiver, Hi-O! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri
Farewell my dearest, I'm bound to leave you Hi-O! you rolling river, O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you, Hi-O! I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide Missouri
