_ It was _ _ springtime on the [C#] river _ _ wall.
_ I was lonesome for the love I [F#] left _ behind. _
_ So I stole what happiness _ my [B] heart could _ find. _
_ From [C#] a German girl there on the [F#] river _ _ bank.
_ She thought _ I was free right from [C#] the _ start. _
_ I said love works like an actor plays [F#] his _ part. _
_ [F#] Till one day I knew I met them from [B] the _ [F#] heart.

_ I [C#] found foreign love there on the [F#] river _ bank. _
_ _ [B] In the _ calm and lonely _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
day
_ [C#] _ lies my little darling my [F#] flower _ line.
_ When [B] she learned I had a wife from the [F#] bank she took her life.

They [C#] were searching _ for her in the [F#] river _ _ rain.
_ In [B] the _ calm and lonely [F#] river _ _ _ rain
_ _ [C#] _ lies my little darling [F#] my flower line. _
_ When [B] she learned I had a wife from [F#] the bank she took her life.
