I was born up in the mountains
Raised up in a desert town
And I never saw the ocean
Till I was close to your age now
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
I'm going back to San An
I'm going back to San An
The ground is hard and the count is dry
But I'm gonna get my fill somehow
Rivers of corn and wheat and rye
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, you're rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, if only you're ever gonna make things right
If only you're ever gonna make things right
If only you're ever gonna make things right
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, you're rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
hey, hey, hey, you're rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, if only you're ever gonna make things right
If only you're ever gonna make things right
If only you're ever gonna make things right
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Will she remember all the things we said And what's the chance that she'll remember
All those nights in the riverbed
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
Only you're ever gonna make things right
