Shenandoah - Connie Dover

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you

Way hey, you rolling river

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

For seven years I courted Nancy

Way hey, you rolling river

No other girl would suit my fancy

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

She would not have me for her lover

Way hey, you rolling river

But I never courted any other

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

One day she went to Kansas City

Way hey, you rolling river

And there she had a little baby

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

She must have had another lover

Way hey, you rolling river

It must have been that cavalry soldier

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I loved your daughter

Way hey, you rolling river

Though she’ll never cross your shining water

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri

Away, I’m bound away across the wide Missouri
