Song information
Artist: Bruce Springsteen Album: We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions
Lyrics
Oh shenandoah, I love your daughter Way-aye, you rolling river I'll take her 'cross yon rolling water A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
The chief disdained the trader's dollars Way-aye, you rolling river My daughter you shall never follow A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
For seven years I courted sally Way-aye, you rolling river For seven more I longed to have her A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
She said she would not be my lover Way-aye, you rolling river Because I was a tarry sailor A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
At last there came a yankee skipper Way-aye, you rolling river He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
He sold the chief that fire-water Way-aye, you rolling river And 'cross the river he stole his daughter A way - we're bound away 'Cross the wide missouri!
Oh shenandoah, I love your daughter Way-aye, you rolling river I'll take her 'cross yon rolling water A way - we're bound away
