Artist/Band: Bruce Springsteen
Lyrics for Song: Shenandoah
Lyrics for Album: We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions [2006]



Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter

Way-aye, you rolling river

I'll take her 'cross yon rolling water

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



The Chief disdained the trader's dollars,

Way-aye, you rolling river

My daughter you shall never follow

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



For seven years I courted Sally,

Way-aye, you rolling river

For seven more I longed to have her

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



She said she would not be my lover

Way-aye, you rolling river

Because I was a tarry sailor

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



At last there came a Yankee skipper

Way-aye, you rolling river

He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



He sold the Chief that fire-water

Way-aye, you rolling river

And 'cross the river he stole his daughter

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!



Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter

Way-aye, you rolling river

I'll take her 'cross yon rolling water

A way - we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri!
