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
