Oh Shenandoah — текст песни (The Waterboys)

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin` river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away. We`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin` river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. We`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin` river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin` river
It was for her I`d cross the water.
Look away, we`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin` river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, we`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, it`s fare-thee-well, my dear,
I`m bound to leave you
Look away you rollin` river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, we`re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
