Shenandoah is an old song, most likely from the days when the West was still untamed. It tells a story of a trader that was in love with the daughter of an Indian chief. He wants to take her with him to the west, across the Missouri River. There seems to be several verses as each artists has one or two that's different. I really enjoy the Statler Brother's version, look in Pure Country Music, they likely have this song on one of their cds, just click their banner below.
