Townes Van Zandt The Late Great Townes Van Zandt Fraulein (l. Williams)
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
<instrumental interlude-"country fiddle">
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
