O Shenandoah, I long to see you
Going 'cross this wide Missouri
O Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross this wide Missouri

My lady love she stands awaiting
Oh beyond this wide Missouri
on the banks I hear her calling
To me she calls to me
'Cross this wide Missouri

I'm pushing of at dawn's a-breaking
Going cross the wide Missouri
Where my true love stands awaiting
For me, she waits for me
Across the wide Missouri

Across this wide Missouri
