I just asked about this song in another forum, and was directed here. I never imagined this much info - I'm overwhelmed. Anyhow, I remember this song and tune from my childhood, growing up in London, and have been trying to track down it's source and from where I remember it from. It may have been a theme, sung in a film?, but I seem to remember singing this old American folk song at school in early/mid 60's London. I'm no nearer finding the answer, in fact I'm more confused and uncertain - what with other lyrics found here. I'm almost certain that the lyrics I remember went like this - O Shenando' I long to hear you, Away, you rolling river O Shenando' I long to hear you Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri O Shenando' I long to see you Away you rolling river O Shenando' I long to see you Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri 'Tis seven years since I have seen you To hear your rolling river O Shenando' I long to see you Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri O Shenando' I'll not forget you I'll dream of your clear waters O Shenando' you're in my mem'ry Away, we're bound away, across the wide Missouri Thanks for a confusing, but entertaining thread!
