Oh Shenandoah, I hear you calling
Hi-o, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Hi-o, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide, Mis-sou-ri

Mis-sou-ri, She's a mighty river
Hi-o, you rolling river
When she rolls down, her topsails shiver
Hi-o, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide, Mis-sou-ri

Farewell my dearest, I'm bound to leave you
Hi-o, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Hi-o, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Mis-sou-ri
