Subject: RE: Song info: Shenandoah
I found some new and interesting verses in my Civil War research. Maybe OK or even AR will like this version.
It starts out with a typically first 2 verses, then:
At Talequah on the reservation Far away you rolling river I joined General Pike and the Cherokee Nation Away I'm bound away Across the wide Missouri
The Yankees came to Elkhorn Tavern Far away you rolling river The Southern hopes and nations shattered Away I'm bound away Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter Far away you rolling river The Cimmeron and Red Fork waters Away I'm bound away Across the wide Missouri
