O Shenandoah, I hear you calling
Hio! you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Hio! I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Missouri she's a mighty river
Hio! you rolling river
When she rolls down her topsails shiver
Hio! I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Farewell, my dearest, I'm bound to leave you;
Hio! you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Hio! I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Shenandoah was written by Celius Dougherty.
