Shenandoah

Intro
Sg: Fiddle bow drag

Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

The Missouri, she's a mighty river
Look away ye rollin' river
Indians camp along her borders
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri


Bridge
All instruments, guitar up
Sg: Fast fiddle bit

Well, a white man, loved an Indian maiden
Look away ye rollin' river
And with notions, his canoe was laden
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

And he said, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away ye rollin' river
And it was for her I crossed the waters
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Bridge
All instruments, banjo up
Sg: Soft fiddle bit
Well, it's fair-thee-well, I'm bound to leave you
Look away ye rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Bridge
All instruments, dobro up
Sg: Fiddle bit
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away ye rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Outro
(Shenandoah, I long to see you) x3
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
(Shenandoah) x3
Oh Shenandoah
