D G Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river A A7 D Tonight when those stars start to shine G By those same stars above you, well I swear that I love you A A7 D For you are my pretty frau-lein Instrumental When my memory wanders, away over yonder To the one that I left behind In a moment of glory, her face comes before me The face of my pretty fraulein Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river Tonight when the stars start to shine By those same stars above you, well I swear that I love you Oh you are my pretty fraulein #--------------------------------------------------------------#
