C G7
It was spring in Munich on the Rhine
C
I was lonesome for the love I've left behind
C7 F
So I stole love happiness my heart could find
G7 C
From a German girl there on the River Rhine
G7
She thought I was free right from the start
C
I said love words like an actor plays his part
C7 F
Till one day I knew I meant then from the heart
G7 C
I'd found Fraulein love there on the River Rhine
F C
In the cold and lonely River Rhine
G7 C
Lies my little darling my Fraulein
F
When she learned I had a wife
C
From the bank she took her life
G7 C
I lost her to the lonely River Rhine
G7
When at last I had to leave her side
C
It was hard for me to tell her how I'd lied
C7 F
The morning papers told how she had died
G7 C
They were searching for her in the River Rhine
F C
In the cold and lonely River Rhine
G7 C
Lies my little darling my Fraulein
F
When she learned I had a wife
C
From the bank she took her life
G7 C
I lost her to the lonely River Rhine
