I was in Germany and didn't have a really special fraulein. I did have a couple of acquaintances that I spent some time with and I often think about them, but they were way too pretty for this plain ole country boy to get serious with.
This is Bobby Helms singing here. I wore my record out back in 1973 in Germany. I went back in 1978 and it was great over there. Our daughter was born in Germany. This song brings back so many memory's. Thanks for posting it.
Love this song i remember back in 1962 when I was in Germany the little frauleins' didnt know how to shave their underarms or their legs and deoderant was taboo, have things changed or are they still in the dark ages?
@Hillbilly4994 You are right!!!! I would know Bobby Helms voice anywhere. When stationed in Germany in 56 and 57 it was played in the cafateria, the club and the german clubs around the bases. It was a big hit in 1957 and a lot of us old guys and some young ones still love it. I don't think Hank Locklin would appreciate this mistake either. Fraulein is Bobby Helms signiture song No one can sing it like bobby Helms or as good.
Of course this is Hank Locklin. This is the first time I remember hearing his version. I didn't think anybody could sing Fraulein as good as Bobby Helms. I was wrong. No offence to Bobby Helms. Both are great artists.
Wow. I have the hank locklin version and listen to the bobby helms version beside it. Damn all difference. My father was a big hank fan and I grew up listening to him. My father saw him many times when Hank toured Ireland in the 60s & 70s . I bought his hits album with this song and also his album Irish songs country style as a present for my Da. Great voice.
No look to the right Bobby's version is posted. THIS IS HANK. Voice is unmistakeable!!

@sunrecords56 An awful lot of GIs loved those girls from the (supposed) dark ages. The American way isn't the only way.
