Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
For her I'd cross the raging waters
Cross the wide Missouri.
For ten long years I courted Sally
She broke my heart here in this valley
Cross the wide Missouri.
The Missouri she's a mighty river
The Missouri she's a mighty river
Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah I'd love to see you
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll never grieve you
Cross the wide Missouri.
Instrumental: (VERSE CHORDS)
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Cross the wide Missouri.
