Lonely River Rhine

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
