(Lyrics adjusted by me.)
Oh Shenandoah I long to see thee
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah I long to see thee.
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.
Twas 7 long years since last I see thee
Away you rolling river
Twas 7 long years since last I see thee
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.
So I ran to the corners of the land
And the sky did lay his hand so hard upon me.
There I lay, 20 nights and 20 days
And every day it seemed to rain
And I felt your waters on me.
In 7 more years, I won’t forget thee.
Away you rolling river.
In 7 more years, I won’t forget thee.
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.
