Kingston Trio Shenendoah Lyrics

Across the Wide Missouri
My lady love, she stands a-waitin'
far across the wide Missouri.
On the banks I hear her callin' to me.
Chorus:
A-roll, a-roll a-ree,
across the wide Missouri.
A-roll, a-roll a-ree,
across the wide Missouri.
Verse:
For seven years I've been a-roamin'.
Seven years I left the valley.
Now I live just for my true love to see.
Chorus
I'm pushing off when dawn's a-breakin',
goin' 'cross the wide Missouri
where my love, she stands a-waitin' for me.
Chorus:
A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree,
across the wide Missouri.
A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree,
across the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rolling river
For her I'd cross the rolling waters
Away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Fare-thee-well, my love
I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rollin' river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
