Fraulein (l. Williams) Lyrics

Townes Van Zandt Fraulein (l. Williams)

Far across the deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
On the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her and I can't forget her
Oh, she was my pretty fraulein

Fraulein, fraulein, walk down by the river
Tonight when those stars start to shine
By those same stars above you, I swear that I love you
Oh, you are my pretty fraulein

Oh, when my memories wander way over yonder
To the one that I left behind
In a moment of glory, her face comes before me
The face of my pretty fraulein

Fraulein, fraulein, walk down by the river
Tonight when those stars start to shine, shine
By those same stars above you, well, I swear that I love you
Oh, you are my pretty fraulein
