To the sweetheart that I left behind
I swear that I love you, you are my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
By the same stars above you
Fraulein, Fraulein look up toward the heavens
In a moment of glory a face comes before me
By the same stars above you
Where I loved her and left her now
The face of my pretty Fraulein
When my memories wander away over yonder
I can't forget her, I miss my pretty Fraulein
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
Each night when the stars start to shine
