Lyrics

Well 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, hey, hey

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

I'm going to back to San Angelo

The ground is hard and the county's 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 rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Hey, hey, hey

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Hey, hey, hey, you rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Hey, hey, hey

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Oh Red, Red River Valley

Where she remember all the things we said

And what's the chance that she'll remember

All those nights in the river bed

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Hey, hey, hey, you rolling river

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

Hey, hey, hey

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right
