Shenandoah

arr. James Erb (b. 1927)

 


O Shenandoah, I long to see you
And hear your rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to see you
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

 

I long to see your smiling valley
And hear your rolling river
I long to see your smiling valley
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

 

'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
And hear your rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
