Sean Dagher - Shenandoah

Oh, seven long years I called her Sally
Away, you rolling river
Across the seas and Shinbone Alley
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

I told her I would have no other
Away, you rolling river
She would not take me for a lover
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

And yet, she took my fifteen dollars
Away, you rolling river
I did not scream, I did not holler
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

Off she went to Kansas city
Away, you rolling river
With no remorse nor any pity
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

I thought to go to seek her maybe
Away, you rolling river
And then I heard she had a baby
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

She must've found another lovеr
Away, you rolling river
A man of means, or elsе a soldier
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri
So I'll drink rum, and I'll drink plenty
Away, you rolling river
I'll fill my cup, then drink it empty
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

I learned this song from Tommy Tompkins
Away, you rolling river
He made it up, or that's my thinking
Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri

Away, I'm bound away far across wide Missouri
