Shenandoah

Oh Shenandoah, I hear you calling
all along, the Missisipi
roll along, you just keep rolling on
as I look, upon you
And all before, who ever came here
think back in time, a soldier's daughter
a Civil war, and cannons sounding
all across, this wide Missouri
I feel the song, just lifts me higher
take me on, that lonely river
where dreams, and lives of others
move along, in time and song
I love to think, of Shendandoah
a homeland free, before the guns came
wooded plains, and pastures giving
life and peace, but for a while
Time rolls on, just like the river
stand and look, as others once did
on this, so mighty river
roll along, yes roll along
you wide, so wide Missouri.
