'Cross The Wide Missouri
This ballad combines three traditional songs about rivers into one lush and beautiful medley. Starting with a soft Celtic sound that features violin and flute, the arrangement builds to a final climatic peak combining all three songs into one multi-layered chorus, then comes back down for an a cappella ending. It features a soloist during "The Water Is Wide". Challenge your singers while at the same time exposing them to some of the most beloved melodies of all time!

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 The water is wide I cannot cross o'er And neither I have wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And we shall row My love and I Deep river My home is over Jordan Deep river I want to cross over Far away across the wide Missouri We both shall row my love and I The water is wide I cannot cross over Oh Shenandoah I'm bound so far away I'm bound away Across the wide, wide water My love and I are bound away I long to hear you Bound away, I'm bound away 'Cross the wide Missouri So wide and deep
