Shenandoah Lyrics

Arlo Guthrie Shenandoah Lyrics

VERSE 1:
The Mis-souri she's a mighty ri-ver
A-way, you rollin' river
The Redman's camp lies on her borders
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 2:
A white-man loved an Indian mai-den
A-way, you rollin' river
With notions sweet his canoe was laden
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 3:
Oh Shenan-doah, I love your daugh-ter
A-way, you rollin' river
I'll take her cross the rollin' water
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 4:
The Chief dis-dained the trader's doll-ars
A-way, you rollin' river
My daughter never you shall follow
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 5:
At last there came a Yankee skip-per
A-way, you rollin' river
He winked his eye and he tipped his flipper
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 6:
He sold the Chief that fire wa-ter
A-way, you rollin' river
And crossed the river, stole his daughter
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
VERSE 7:
Oh Shenan-doah, I long to hear you
A-way, you rollin' river
A-cross the wide and rollin' water
in7
A-way, we're bound a-way
Across the wide Missouri.
