「噢，雪南多瓦」[原創研究？]（英語：Oh Shenandoah；又名「雪南多瓦」或「越過廣大的密蘇里」[原創研究？]、《仙納多》[1]、《情人渡》[來源請求]、《山納多》、《雪納朵》[1]、《山南度》[1]等）是一首傳統的美國民謠，確切來源不詳，而時間源自19世紀初期。
此歌曲似乎源自加拿大、美國利用獨木舟航行密蘇里河的航行者或是毛皮運輸商人，在歷史上衍生出好幾套不同的歌詞。有些歌詞提到雪南多瓦酋長以及一個想娶他女兒的獨木舟商人。到了1800年代中期，這首歌的幾個版本變成行船者或水手傳唱的小曲，在世界各地都可以聽到。
此歌曲在Roud民謠索引中編號為324。
《謝南多厄》這首歌很可能源自美國或加拿大的皮草商，他們都是優秀的歌手……在美洲早期，河流和運河是主要的貿易和客運路線，船夫是一個重要的階級。謝南多厄是美國歷史上著名的印地安酋長，美國有好幾個城鎮都以他的名字命名。除了在海上演唱外，這首歌也出現在早期公立學校的歌集裡。
——W.B. Whall (1910)[3]
["Shenandoah"] probably came from the American or Canadian voyageurs, who were great singers ... . In the early days of America, rivers and canals were the chief trade and passenger routes, and boatmen were an important class. Shenandoah was a celebrated Indian chief in American history, and several towns in the States are named after him. Besides being sung at sea, this song figured in old public school collections.
— W.B. Whall (1910)[3]
