The Waterboys - Oh Shenandoah

Oh, shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away. we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Now the missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. we're 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, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Oh shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the water.
Look away, we're 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, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri
