<b>Lonely River Rhine</b> by <i>Ben Steneker</i><br />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

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

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
