The Bob Dylan Pages

Now the Missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. Were bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well a white man loved an Indian maiden
Look away, you rollin river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin river
It was for her Id cross the water.
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri

For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin river
Seven more years I longed to have her
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, its fare-thee-well, my dear,
Im bound to leave you
Look away you rollin river
Shenandoah, I will not deceive you
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri
