Charlie Haden

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin river
Indians camp a long her border
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin river
It was for her Id cross the water
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Well, its fare-thee-well, my dear,
Im bound to leave you
Look away, you rollin river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri
