Oh, Shannydore, your good wife Carrie,
Away, my rolling river!
She says your daughter I may marry,
Ha ha, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shannydore, I love your daughter,
Away, my rolling river!
I'll take her across the stormy water,
Ha ha, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
