Oh Shenandoah by the_nightwolf published on 2016-04-13T01:24:06Z OH SHENANDOA Ross McManus. The leaving of Liverpool. 1. Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter; Away you rolling river, Oh Shenandoah, so long I’ve sought her, Away, we’re bound away, ’Cross the wide Missouri. 2. Oh Shenandoah, I’ve come to take her; Away you rolling river, Oh Shenandoah, my bride I’ll make her, Away, we’re bound away, ’Cross the wide Missouri. 3. Oh Shenandoah, my boat is ready; Away you rolling river, The sheets are braced all taut and steady, Away, we’re bound away, ’Cross the wide Missouri. 4. Oh Shenandoah, give us your blessing; Away you rolling river, Oh we must sail, for time is pressing, Away, we’re bound away, ’Cross the wide Missouri.
