Hi All! Heres a song thats bound to touch your heart! youtu.be/kpMwPsAgFPY Until the nineteenth century only adventurers who sought their fortunes as trappers and traders of beaver fur ventured as far west as the Missouri River. Most of these men were loners who became friendly with, and sometimes married, Native Americans. Shenandoah is said to have originated with French voyageurs traveling down the Missouri River. The lyrics tell the story of a trader who fell in love with the daughter of an Algonquian chief, Shenandoah. American sailors heading down the Mississippi River picked up the song and made it a capstan shanty that they sang while hauling in the anchor. Oh Shenandoah (Traditional) Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you, Away you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Away, Im bound away, cross the wide Missouri. Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away, you rolling river. For her Id cross, Your roaming waters, Away, Im bound away, Cross the wide Missouri. Tis seven years, since last Ive seen you, Away, you rolling river. Tis seven years, since last Ive seen you, Away, were bound away, cross the wide Missouri. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Away, you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Away, were bound away, cross the wide Missouri.
