[Verse 1]
Far across the deep blue water lives an old captain's daughter
On the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and I left her and now I can't forget her
Because she is my pretty Fraulein
[Chorus]
Fraulein, Fraulein walk down by the river
Each night when the stars began to shine
By these same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein
[Verse 2]
When my memory start to wander
Each day I grow fonder of the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of my glory her face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein
[Chorus]
Fraulein, Fraulein look up toward the heaven
Pretend that your hand is holdin' mine
By the same stars above you I swear I still love you
And I always will my Fraulein
