Shenandoah


The Missouri, she's a might riverAway you rolling river
The red man's camp lies on her bordersAway, we're bound away across the wide
MissouriA white man loved an Indian maidenAway you rolling river
With notions sweet his canoe was ladenAway, we're bound away across the wide
MissouriO Shenandoah, I love your daughterAway you rolling river
I'll take her 'cross the rolling waterAway, we're bound away across the wide
MissouriThe chief disdained the trader's dollarsAway you rolling river
My daughter never you shall followAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri
At last there came a Yankee skipperAway you rolling river
He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper
Away, we're bound away across the wideMissouriHe sold the chief that fire-water
Away you rolling riverAnd 'cross the river he stole his daughter
Away, we're bound away across the wideMissouriO Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away you rolling riverAcross the wide and rolling water
Away, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer-songwriter born in Coney Island, New York, in 1947. Son of the renowned poet and writer Woody Guthrie, Arlo inherited his father's passion for music and strong social commitment that characterize his work. His musical career began in the 1960s with an acoustic folk sound influenced by the folk revival movement. His international success came in 1968 with the song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a long satirical ballad that tells the story of a real event and becomes an anthem against the Vietnam War. Guthrie is known for his narrative songs, often of great length, which deal with social, political, and environmental issues. Among his most famous songs are also "Coming into Los Angeles", "City of New Orleans" and "The Motorcycle Song". Arlo Guthrie continues to perform live and record new albums, remaining an icon of American folk.
