Fraulein by Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, now I can't forget her
For she was my pretty Fraulein

[Chorus]
Well Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Tonight when those stars start to shine
By those same stars above you, well I swear that I love you
For you are my pretty Fraulein

[Verse 2]
Oh, when my memory wanders away 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

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