The old Missouri is a mighty river.
Away, you rolling river.
The red man's camp lies upon her border.
Away, we're bound away,
across the wide Missouri.
A white man loved an Indian maiden.
Away, you rolling river.
With notions sweet,
his canoe was laden.
Away, we're bound away,
across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter.
Away, you rolling river.
It is for her that I cross the water.
Away, we're bound away,
across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah..
Away, we're bound away,
across the wide Missouri.
Away, we're bound away,
across the wide Missouri.
