Shenandoah Fisherman's Friends

Oh, Shenandoah
I love your daughter
(Away, my rolling river!)
Shenandoah, the white mulatta
(We are bound away from this world of misery)

For seven years
I toiled the ocean
(Away, my rolling river!)
For seven years, I never rode her
(We are bound away from this world of misery)

I courted Sally
No pen, no paper
(Away, my rolling river!)
I courted Sally
On foolscap paper
(We are bound away from this world of misery)

Nobody knows
About my toiling
(Away, my rolling river!)
Nobody knows
About my danger
(We are bound away from this world of misery)
