Fraulein (l. Williams) Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

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
