Bobby Helms - Lonely river rhine

^CIt was spring in Munich on the ^G7Rhine I was lonesome for the love I've left be^Chind

So I stole love happiness my ^C7heart could ^Ffind From a ^G7German girl there on the River ^CRhine

She thought I was free right from the ^G7start I said love words like an actor plays his ^Cpart

Till one day I knew I meant then ^C7from the ^Fheart I'd ^G7found Fraulein love there on the River ^CRhine

In the ^Fcold and lonely River ^CRhine ^G7Lies my little darling my ^CFraulein

When she ^Flearned I had a wife From the ^Cbank she took her life

I ^G7lost her to the lonely River ^CRhine

When at last I had to leave her ^G7side It was hard for me to tell her how I'd ^Clied

The morning papers told ^C7how she had ^Fdied They were ^G7searching for her in the River ^CRhine

In the ^Fcold and lonely River ^CRhine ^G7Lies my little darling my ^CFraulein

When she ^Flearned I had a wife From the ^Cbank she took her life

I ^G7lost her to the lonely River ^CRhine
