Shenandoah (from the album “Belafonte at Carnegie Hall”, 1959) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away you rolling river
Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, we′re bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri


Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away you rolling river
For her, I′d cross the rolling water
Away, we're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Farewell, my love
I′m bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Shenandoah, I′ll not deceive you
Away, we're bound away
′Cross the wide Missouri

'Cross the wide Missouri
