Fraulein - Townes Van Zandt

Far across the deep blue water lives an old German’s daughter

By the banks of the old River Rhine

Where I loved her and lost her but I can’t forget her cause I miss my pretty

Fraulein

(Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens)

Each night when the stars start to shine

(By the same stars above you I swear that I love you)

'Cause you are my pretty Fraulein

When my memories wander away 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 hands are holding

mine)

By the same stars above you I swear that I love you cause you are my pretty

Fraulein
