Lyrics Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt

Fraulein

far across the blue water 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

I miss my pretty fraulein

Fraulein, fraulein, look up toward the heavens

Each night when the starts start to shine

By the same stars above you, i swear that i love you

You are my pretty fraulein

When my memories wander a-way 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
