Lyrics

The Missouri, she's a might river
 Away you rolling river
 The red man's camp lies on her borders
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 A white man loved an Indian maiden
 Away you rolling river
 With notions sweet his canoe was laden
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
 Away you rolling river
 I'll take her 'cross the rolling water
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 The chief disdained the trader's dollars
 Away you rolling river
 My daughter never you shall follow
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 At last there came a Yankee skipper
 Away you rolling river
 He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 He sold the chief that fire-water
 Away you rolling river
 And 'cross the river he stole his daughter
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
 O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
 Away you rolling river
 Across the wide and rolling water
 Away, we're bound away across the wide
 Missouri
