Shenandoah - Trampled By Turtles

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you

I look away, rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

The chief disdained the trader’s dollars

Look away, rolling river

My daughter, you shall never follow.

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

For seven years, he put it sadly

I look away, rolling river

For seven more, he longed to have her

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

She said she would not be my lover

Look away, rolling river

Because I was a dirty sailor

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

It’s «Fare thee well,"I'm bound to leave you

I look away, rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I would not deceive you

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

At last, there came a Yankee skipper

Look away, rolling river

He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love you daughter

I look away, rolling river

I take her across the open water

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri

Away, oh, bound away, across the wide Missouri
