Far across the blue water lives an old German's daughter
|
By the banks of the old river Rhine
|
Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her
|
I miss my pretty fraulein
|
|
Fraulein, fraulein, look up toward the heavens
|
Each night when the starts start to shine
|
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you
|
You are my pretty fraulein
|
|
<instrumental interlude-"country fiddle">
|
|
When my memories wander a-way over yonder
|
To the sweetheart that I left behind
|
In a moment of glory a face comes before me
|
The face of my pretty fraulein
|
|
Fraulein, fraulein, walk down by the river
|
Pretend that your hand's holdin' mine
|
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
|
You are my pretty fraulein
|
