I was born in the mountains
I was raised in a desert town
I never saw the ocean
'Til I was close to your age now
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Way hey you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Hey hey hey only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Going back to my hometown
The ground is hard and the county's dry
I'm gonna get my fill somehow
Rivers of corn and wheat and rye
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Way hey you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Hey hey hey only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Oh Red River Valley
Will she remember all the things we said?
Do you think she'll remember me
And our nights in the river bed?
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Way hey you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Hey hey hey only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right"
