NOTES:

As a boy in elementary school, we often sang songs from a state-of-california song-textbook. Most of the songs and singing seemed hokey to me (I preferred The Beatles, thank you), but a few songs, Shenandoah among them, I sang with gusto. My love for the song Shenandoah has continued and, yay, increased over time. I spent many joyous hours in the studio singing this, over and over, until it felt just right.

 

Shenandoah- LYRICS

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, we’re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

For seven years I’ve been a rover
Away, you rolling river
For seven years I’ve been a rover
Away, we’re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh shenandoah, I’ll not deceive you
Away, we’re bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we’re bound away
Across the wide Missouri
