Frau Lein

By Lawton Williams

FAR ACROSS THE DEEP BLUE WATERS
LIVES AN OLD GERMAN'S DAUGHTER
ON THE BANKS OF OF THE OLD RIVER RHINE
WHERE I LOVED HER AND LEFT HER
NOW I CAN'T FORGET HER
SHE WAS MY PRETTY FRAULEIN

FRAULEIN, FRAULEIN
WALK DOWN BY THE RIVER
TONIGHT WHEN THE STARS START TO SHINE
BY THE SAME STARS ABOVE YOU
YOU ARE MY PRETTY FRAULEIN

WHEN MY MEMORY WANDERS
AWAY OVER YONDER
TO THAT CUTE GIRL THAT I LEFT BEHIND
IN A MOMENT OF GLORY
HER FACE COMES BEFORE ME
THE FACE OF MY PRETTY FRAULEIN
