A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school. For the next 20 years, he never spent more than a handful of months outside of a correctional facility — he spent much of his twenties in the Ohio State Penitentiary.

Fraulein Lyrics

David Allan Coe

Far across the deep blue waters lives an old German's daughter
On the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her now I can't forget her she is my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you you are my pretty Fraulein
[ fiddle - steel ]
When the memory wanders away over yonder to that cute girl that I left behind
In a moment of glory her face comes before me the face of my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river...
You are my pretty Fraulein
