"Oh Shenandoah" (also called "'Shenandoah", "Across the Wide Missouri", "Rolling River", "Oh, My Rolling River", "World of Misery") is a traditional American folk song, goes way back to the early 19th century. Beautiful love song. Easy rough thumb strum guitar and vocal. With intro and outro (mostly goofing off at the end)

Oh Shenandoah - lyrics

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

The wide Missouri is a mighty water
Away, you rollin' river
Indians camp along her border
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

A white man loved an Indian maiden
Away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I`ll marry your daughter
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I 'll not deceive you
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri

For seven years, I've been a rover
Away, you rollin' river
But I'll return to be your lover
Away, I`m bound away
Across the wide Missouri
