Across the Wide Missouri
Ray Price · Danny Boy [Columbia] [1967]
(Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl)
My true love stands across the river
Far across the rolling river
On the banks I hear her calling
Away, we're bound away,
Across the wide Missouri.
Oh Shennandoah, I long to see you
Far across the rolling river
Shennandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri.
--- Instrumental ---
For seven years I've been a rover
Far across the rolling river
I'll return and be your lover
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri...
My true love stands across the river
Far across the rolling river
On the banks I hear her calling
Away, we're bound away,
Across the wide Missouri.
Oh Shennandoah, I long to see you
Far across the rolling river
Shennandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri.
--- Instrumental ---
For seven years I've been a rover
Far across the rolling river
I'll return and be your lover
Away we're bound away across the wide Missouri...
