Try this for a question..
Recently my girlfriends mother who is Norwegian went to Crete for
her sunmmer holiday. While there she heard a French woman sing an old
Irish love song. She was told by the French woman that the song was
called "SEAN EN DOA ".
I do not think that this is the correct pronounciation or even the
correct spelling. Does anybody out there recognise this song and if so
where can it be foung on CD.
A six pack of guinness is in it for the lucky winner.
Regards
Brendan (London)

the song is called Shenandoah but I don't know much more except a few
of the words and as I remember it's an American/Irish song.

yes and Brush Shiels does a good version of it too...though with
2 lead guitaars and a bass/drum it probably sounds a little different.
Will check a few record shops and see what cd its on (the real version)

Shenandoah is a small town in one of America's northern states.
One line I remember is
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Away you rolling river.....
Or something like that, fancy singing it Mick?? :>)

| 1409.5 | Shenandoah..... | GIAMEM::CRIPPEN | Wed Sep 14 1994 09:00 | 33 | |
There is an American folk song called Shenandoah, and there is a region
in the Appalachian Mountians called the Shenandoah Valley (through
which runs the Shenandoah River. However, the songs origin has nothing
to do with this region. It is a song written about a Native American
Maiden whose name was Shendoah. There are at least 3 verses to the
song and they go like this:
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away
Cross 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
Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah, I long to feel you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to feel you
Away, I'm bound away
Cross the wide Missouri
This is one of the most beautiful folk songs I have ever heard.
It has a sad, haunting melody......
Hope this helps....
