Shenandoah
Anaïs Mitchell

Lord have mercy on my mind,nmercy on my memory.nI'm lying beneath the same Virginia skynWhere she laid beside me, biding time.nTrying to abide me.nEvery night when the night was long, she was clinging to me.nTold me twice that her love was strong, stronger than the love in old love songs she was singing to me.nnOh, Shenandoah, 'cross the rolling water.nOh, Shenandoah, where's your restless daughter?nnDon't know what I gave them for,nall my little lessons.nHow you start the peas before the corn,nhow you start before the air is warm.nShe was never listenin'.nI could see there in her sorry eyes,nhear it in her breathing.nDidn't come to me like some surprise, didn't even ask her why,nWhen she said I'm leavin.nnOh, Shenandoah, ncross the rolling water.nOh, Shenandoah, where's your willful daughter?nnI brought in the winter squash,nI brought in the melon.nCortland, Empire, Macintosh,nOn the afternoon before the frost.nI could feel it coming.nI can see her now in the flowery clothes,nall those things I bought her.nTrailing her perfume wherever she goes,n'cross the rolling water, Shenandoah,nWhere's your reckless daughter?nShenandoah, mercy on your daughter.n
