Shenandoah - The Petersens (LIVE)

We posted our version of "Shenandoah" six years ago on YouTube before Emmett was performing with us full-time. The family worked the song up again before traveling to Europe and we decided it was definitely time for a YouTube refresh.

We had to drive a UTV off-road vehicle to make it to the filming location and mom drew the short straw with Matt as the driver haha.

Enjoy!

►LYRICS - Shenandoah
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

The Missouri, she's a mighty river
Look away rollin' river
Indians camp along her borders
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, a white man, he loved an Indian maiden
Look away rollin' river
And with notions, his canoe was laden
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

And he said, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away rollin' river
And it was for her I crossed the waters
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, it's fair-thee-well*, I'm bound to leave you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

(Shenandoah, I long to see you) x3
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
(Shenandoah) x3
Oh Shenandoah

* Fair-thee-well = farewell

This song seems to have originated with fur traders who traveled the Missouri River in canoes. Like many traditional folk songs, there are different versions of the lyrics, but these ones refer to a trader falling in love with the daughter of the Oneida chief Shenandoah.

In the mid-1800s, the song made its way down the Mississippi River and became popular as a sea shanty on ships that traveled the world.
