Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, my rolling river.
Shenandoah, the white mulatto, We are bound away from this world of misery.
For seven years I tore the ocean, Away, my rolling river.
For seven years I never rode her, We are bound away from this world of misery.
I caught it, Sally, no pen, no paper, Away, my rolling river.
I caught it, Sally, on fool's-gap paper, We are bound away from this world of misery.
Nobody knows about my toiling, Away, my rolling river.
Nobody knows about my danger, We are bound away from this world of misery.
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, my rolling river.
Shenandoah, the white mulatto, We are bound away from this world of misery.
