Last week the 5th Grade choir met one last time to perform Shenandoah

******

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri. 

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Away, I’m bound to go, across the wide Missouri.

Some believe the song refers to the river of the same name. Others suggest that it tells the tale of Sally,the daughter of the Indian Chief Shenandoah, who is courted for seven years by a white Missouri river trader.
