Oh Shenandoah, 1800’s, American/ Canadian folksong. "Shenandoah" was one of the most popular capstan shanties. Songs such as this set an appropriate, manageable pace and inspired the sailors to accomplish the task at hand, which could be quite long in duration.
Shenandoah" war eines der beliebtesten Capstan-Shanties. Lieder wie dieses gaben ein angemessenes, überschaubares Tempo vor und spornten die Seeleute an, die anstehenden Aufgaben zu bewältigen, die recht lange dauern konnten.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I’m bound away, 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 away, across the wide Missouri.
