"Shenandoah" (also called "Oh Shenandoah", or "Across the Wide Missouri") is an American folk song, dating to the early 19th century. The lyrics may tell the story of a roving trader in love with the daughter of an Indian chief; in this interpretation, the rover tells the chief of his intent to take the girl with him far to the west, across the Missouri River. Other interpretations tell of a pioneers nostalgia for the Shenandoah River Valley in Virginia, and a young woman who is its daughter; or of a Union soldier in the American Civil War, dreaming of his country home to the west of the Missouri river, in Shenandoah, Iowa (though the town lies some 50 miles east of the river). The provenance of the song is unclear. The song is also associated with escaped slaves. They were said to sing the song in gratitude because the river allowed their scent to be lost. The Shenandoah area made many parts like wheels and seats for wagons going west. These parts were assembled in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and settlers set out in Conestoga wagons down the Ohio River, on the Mississippi and west up the Missouri River. Lyrics were undoubtedly added by rivermen, settlers, and the millions who went west. With possible origins in Virginia, noting that its title is also the name of a Virginia river, the song has been considered for Virginias official state song.
Lyrics
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, were bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
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.
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 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.
