Shenandoah
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website

---

O, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river
O, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Oh, Shenandoah, I love no other

For seven years I courted Nancy
No other girl would suit my fancy

She would not have me for her lover
Tho I never courted any other

One day she left for Kansas City
And its there she had a little baby

She must have had another lover
O, I swear it was a cavalry soldier
