[Verse 1] Her eyes were like, a sunset. They sparkled, gold and green. Her hair danced, across her face. Summers by the river. The air was so clean. [Verse 2] Her dress was, soft white cotton. It was one, her mama had made. Afternoons, we ran along the shore. All my problems, faded away. [Pre-chorus] Shenandoah summers. She was an angel from above. [Chorus] I loved that girl, Raylene Sally. Prettiest girl, in the whole damned valley. In the dark of night, we’d look at the stars. She could name every one. But we we can’t go there. Oh, it’s just too far. Shenandoah summers. [Verse 3] We laid in the grass, down by the river. Water flowing, sky was so blue. She put her hand to my face,and said “Kiss me.” I closed my eyes. I finally got a clue. [Pre-chorus] Shenandoah summers. She was an angel from above. [Chorus] I loved that girl, Raylene Sally. Prettiest girl, in the whole damned valley. In the dark of night, we’d look at the stars. She could name every one. But we we can’t go there. Oh, it’s just too far. Shenandoah summers. [Outro] [Melodic reprise of key hooks and runs. Lead guitar run down the scale to sustain on the root chord.]
