Lonely River Rhine Lyrics & Chords By Ben Steneker

It was springtime on the river Rhine
I was lonesome for the love I left behind
So I stole what happiness my heart could find
From a German girl there on the river Rhine
She thought I was freeride from the stars
I said love hurts like an ecker plays his bard
Till one day I knew I met them from the heart
I found foreign love there on the river Rhine
In the cold and loney river Rhine
When she learned I had a wife
From that bank she took her life
I lost her to the lonely river Rhine
When at last I had to leave her side
It was hard to tell her how I lied
The morning paper told me how she died
They were searching for her in the river Rhine
In the cold and loney river Rhine
Lies my little darling, my fraulein
When she learned I had a wife
From that bank she took her life
I lost her to the lonely river Rhine
