SHENANDOAH
Sea Shanty

Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
A-way, you rolling river!
Shenandoah I long to hear you;
A-way we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

The ship sails free, a gale is blowing
A-way, you rolling river!
The braces taut, the sheets a-flowing
A-way we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Shenandoah, I'll ne'er forget you
A-way, you rolling river!
Till I die, I'll love you ever,
A-way we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
