Fraulein
George Jones · Other Songs - George Jones
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
Walked down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holdin' mine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I love you
I love my pretty Fraulein.
--- Insrumental ---
When my memories wander
Away over yonder
To that sweetheart that I left behind
In the moment of glory
A face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein.
Fraulein, Fraulein
Looked up towards the heavens
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the same stars above you
I swear that I'd love you
I love my pretty Fraulein...
