Far across the blue waters Lives an old German's daughter By the banks of the old river Rhine Where I loved her and left 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 seem to shine By the same stars above you I swear that I love you 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 hand's holding mine By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
