Shenendoah River
Well I've had a sleepless night or two
My baby's gone what am I gonna do?
Just a poor mans' son and plain to see
But my lord he looked good to me
Dark-sided moon got ahold of him
Took him for a midnight swim
Took his love and it took his life
Cut him from me like a cold steel knife
The Shenendoah waters,they roll so cold
And the sun burns down like a gamblers' gold
But the demon depths never made a sound
The night they took my baby down
Shenendoah River's beautiful to see
But the heartless river took him from me
Now my baby's gone what am I gonna do?
Shenendoah cut my heart in two
