Far across the deep blue waters lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
There 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
[ fiddle - steel ]
When the 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
And I always will my pretty Fraulein
And I always will my pretty Fraulein
