[Verse 1]

I long to see you

Oh Shenandoah

‘Cross the wide Missouri
[Verse 3]

Since last I've seen you
Away, I'm bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri
[Verse 4]
Oh Shenandoah
I long to hear you
Far away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah
Just to be near you
Far away, far away
‘Cross the wide Missouri
I long to see you
Oh Shenandoah
I long to see you
