| 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 | |
