A Far across deep blue waters, lives an D old German's daughter
By the E banks of the E7 old river A Rhine
Where I loved her and left her, but D I can't forget her
E I miss my E7 pretty Frau-{A} lein.
FrauIein, Fraulein, look D up toward the Heaven
Each E night when the stars E7 start to A shine
By the same stars above you, I D swear that I love you
E You are my E7 pretty frau-{A} lein.
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 hand's holdin' mine
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you
You are my pretty fraulein.
