- Words and Music by Lawton Williams

Far across deep blue waters lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine.
Where I loved her and left her, I can't forget her.
I miss my pretty fraulein.

Fraulein, fraulein, walk down by the river.
Pretend your hand's holdin' mine.
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you.
You are my pretty fraulein.

[instrumental interlude-"country fiddle"]

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 your hand's holdin' mine.
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you.
You are my pretty fraulein.


(umlauts left out for ease of typing. It should be "Fräulein."
