Shenandoah Lyrics

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I'll not deceive you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
