Lyrics:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
I'm bound away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river,
I'll take her cross the rolling water,
I'm bound away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
Away your rolling water,
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
I'm bound away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away you rolling river,
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
I'm bound away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, blow the man down bullies, blow the man down,
Be way, hey, blow the man down,
Blow the man down, bullies, blow him away
Give me some time to blow the man down.

We went over the bar on the thirteenth of May,
Be way, hey, blow the man down,
The Galloper jumped, and the gale came away,
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down.

As I was a-walking down Paradise Street,
Be way, hey, blow the man down,
A saucy young damsel I happened to meet,
Give me some time to blow the man down.

I says to her, "Polly, and how d'you do?",
Be way, hey, blow the man down,
Says she, "None the better for seein' of you.",
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Oh, sailors is tinkers, and tailors is men,
And be way, hey, blow the man down,
And we're all of us coming to see you again,
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down.

So, we'll blow the man up, and we'll blow the man down,
Be way, hey, blow the man down,
And we'll blow him away in to Liverpool Town,
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Give me some time to blow the man down,
It be time...
To blow...
The men down
