Since "Shenandoah" was a riverman's and then sailor's song and went through numerous changes and versions over the years and centuries, there are no set lyrics. Modern lyrics are usually some variation of the following:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you, Away you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you, Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, you rolling river. For her I'd cross Your roaming waters, Away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri.
'Tis seven years since last I've seen you, Away, you rolling river. 'Tis seven years since last I've seen you, Away, we're bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Away, you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Away, we're bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Far away, you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, Just to be near you, Far away, far away. 'Cross the wide Missouri.
