(Lawton Williams) Recorded by Townes van Zandt [Intro] D A7 D [Verse 1]
 D                                        G
Far across the deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter

       D                      A7
On the banks of the old river Rhine

        D                           G
There I loved her and left her, and I can't forget her

    D         A7         D
Oh she was my pretty Fraulein.
[Chorus]
D                        G
Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river

  D                               A7       
Tonight when those stars start to shine

         D                               G
By those same stars above you, well I'll swear that I love you

    D         A7         D
Oh you are my pretty Fraulein.
[Instrumental] D G D A7 D G D A7 D [Verse 2]
        D                 G
When my memories wander, away over yonder

       D                 A7
To the one that I left behind

     D                  G
In a moment of glory, a face comes before me

    D          A7         D
The face of my pretty Fraulein.
[Chorus]
D                        G
Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river

   D                              A7       
Tonight when those stars start to shine

          D                             G
By those same stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you

   D          A7         D
Oh you are my pretty Fraulein.
