Shenandoah from Mice Tough by Miguel Heatwole
This may be one of the most well-known American folk songs there is. Which is no reason not to love it. Twenty four years after recording it with a roomful of my friends I treasure the memory of that night.

Lyrics
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you.
Away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away we're bound to go
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away..
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away..
Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away..
For seven years I've been a rover
Away..
But I'll return and be your lover.
Away..
