Shenandoah

	lord have mercy on my mind
	mercy on my memory
	I'm lying 'neath the same Virginia sky
	where she lay beside me, biding time
	trying to abide me
	every night when the night was long
	she was clinging to me
	told me twice that her love was strong
	stronger than the love in old love songs
	she was singing to me
	o, shenandoah
	cross the rolling water
	o, shenandoah
	where's your restless daughter?
	don't know what I gave them for
	all my little lessons
	how you start the peas before the corn
	how you start before the air is warm
	she was never listening
	I could see it there in her sorry eyes
	hear it in her breathing
	didn't come to me like some surprise
	didn't even ask her why
	when she said, “I'm leaving”
	o, shenandoah
	cross the rolling water
	o, shenandoah
	where's your willful daughter?
	I brought in the winter squash
	I brought in the melon
	cortland, empire, macintosh
	on the afternoon before the frost
	I could feel it coming
	I can see her now in her flowery clothes
	all of those things I bought her
	trailing her perfume wherever she goes
	cross the rolling water
	shenandoah
	where's your reckless daughter?
	shenandoah
	mercy on your daughter

	lord have mercy on my mind
	mercy on my memory
	I' m lying ' neath the same Virginia sky
	where she lay beside me, biding time
	trying to abide me
	every night when the night was long
	she was clinging to me
	told me twice that her love was strong
	stronger than the love in old love songs
	she was singing to me
	o, shenandoah
	cross the rolling water
	o, shenandoah
	where' s your restless daughter?
	don' t know what I gave them for
	all my little lessons
	how you start the peas before the corn
	how you start before the air is warm
	she was never listening
	I could see it there in her sorry eyes
	hear it in her breathing
	didn' t come to me like some surprise
	didn' t even ask her why
	when she said, " I' m leaving"
	o, shenandoah
	cross the rolling water
	o, shenandoah
	where' s your willful daughter?
	I brought in the winter squash
	I brought in the melon
	cortland, empire, macintosh
	on the afternoon before the frost
	I could feel it coming
	I can see her now in her flowery clothes
	all of those things I bought her
	trailing her perfume wherever she goes
	cross the rolling water
	shenandoah
	where' s your reckless daughter?
	shenandoah
	mercy on your daughter
