Oh Shenandoah

Y

esterday was a holiday (Labor Day) so being new to this area, our family took a leisurely tour of the surrounding Shenandoah River/Mountain/ Valley area. And it sure is beautiful. I thought you might like to take a quick tour with us:

We, however, are not planning on leaving this river to cross another—like the Missouri.

Glen Manor, Front Royal—across the street from David’s school

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

Fox Meadow—Linden, Virginia

’Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away, you rolling river
’Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away, I’m bound to go, ’cross 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, ’cross the wide Missouri.

  4. Gorgeous scenery! But I'm concerned. You have work to do. Your surroundings could be a stumbling block to focusing on your job. It would definitely distract me.
