Fraulein
(Lawton Williams)
Recorded by Townes van Zandt
Far across the deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter
On the banks of the old river Rhine
There I loved her and left her, and I can't forget her
Oh she was my pretty Frau-lein.
FrauIein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Tonight when those stars start to shine
By those same stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you
Oh you are my pretty frau-lein.
Instrumental
When my memories wander, away over yonder
To the one 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
Tonight when the stars start to shine
By thosesame stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you
Oh you are my pretty fraulein.
