Recorded by Townes van Zandt

D   A7   D

D                                     G

Far across the deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter

        D                      A7

On the banks of the old river Rhine

         D                          G

There I loved her and left her, and I can't forget her

D               A7         D

Oh she was my pretty Frau-lein.

   D                       G

FrauIein, Fraulein, walk down by the river

   A                      A7       D

Tonight when those stars start to shine

                                         G

By those same stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you

    A          A7          D

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.
