I was talking to my mom about my grandfather on Friday, a WW2 veteran who died when i was 5 but i have fond memories and miss him a lot. She mentioned he always wanted to hear this song, and that he must have had a fraulein (she said half jokingly). I just listened to it and teared up. What a beautiful song and memory. I'll treasure this song forever
From the pen of Lawton Williams, just a simple country love song, but I wonder just how many guys have looked East into the stars at night, and had an ache in their heart, or wiped a tear from their eyes since Bobby Helms sang this? Just great music!
Far across deep blue waters,live an old German's daughter...
By the banks of the old river Rhine.....
where i loved her and left her
But i can't forget her,i miss my pretty Fraulein... Fraulein,Fraulein, Look up toward the Heaven Each night when the stars start to shine By the same stars above you,i swear that i love you You are my pretty Fraulien...
The face of my pretty fraulein.... Fraulein,Fraulein, Walk down by the river Pretend that your hand's holdin'mine By the same stars above you, You are my pretty Fraulein...
Woke up with this song on my mind. I wake up everyday with a song on my mind. What a wonderful way to greet the day ! I am 45 yrs. old & know this song is WAY before my time , but this is the music that i LOVE! I remember my Mother singing this when I was young (R.I.P. Mom) Instead of ol German's Daughter , she would sing Ol' Farmer's Daughter, that's what she was. Miss you Mom. Hope you are singing in Heaven. Save me a place in the choir !
First post i have ever seen by someone stationed at Ayers Kaserne. This jumped out at me. I was stationed there in 1956 and 1957 with the 3rd Armored Division. Fraulein was played on the jukebox most ever time i would go in the cafetria and the club. It was played in a lot of german clubs in the area. Like Giessen Lang-gon and ect. Still got my old uniform with the 3rd armour div patch.
No one will ever sing this song like Bobby sang it, EVER. I played a gig with rob helms jr not long after Bobby passed away,He played drums for bobby I told bob jr I was really sad when Bobby passed he thanked me,I could tell he loved him a lot as he should,rob is a first class person...nice guy and a great drummer!.
This was my song in 1957 while in college, Rutgers, New Brunswick. Gerry Schneider, Zeta Psi fraternity pledge, will remember this song also. I wore out my 45 Decca record. Bobby can belt it out. Real music. No electronics, just music, talent, and good Country. Rap lovers take note. Read some of the comments below. This song really moved people, and is viable and loved today. Thanks for posting.
This guy was fantastic! He had 3 classic hits in 1957, Fraulein, My special Angel and Jingle Bell Rock. . Never heard a song from him again. I still have all 3 45's on Decca.
This is mine and Nick's song from 1957 . nobodby will ever own this song but him and I
He passed away some 3 years ago and I still feel the pain and I will never forget the love we shared. We went seperate ways but my love for him never died
It was a sad day to lose Bobby Helms. I always felt he was under rated. that voice was one of a kind. We lost him far to young and far to soon. RIP Bobby your music lives on, and you along with it.
No one could ever sing this song like Bobby did EVER!!.
I remember when he died I played a gig with Rob Helms his son I remember telling him I was sorry his father had passed away Rob has a grould called big country
Great song, great time in the robinson barracks, 1960, with the most beautiful women of the world, sorry to have left them. Yes, without taking Hannelore home with me. Stupid, I.
I went to the University of Texas Law School in 1957 and this song was on the juke box at Schulz Beer Garden. It stayed on for years. I always played it on any retun to Austin.
Well, I don't remember when I first heard this song, but it was in my teens when I used to listen to the American and Canadian Forces networks in Germany. Loved it ever since.
Growing up in Stuttgart near Robinson Barracks in the 1960's I listened to AFN Stuttgart every day after school. Fraulein was my first contact with American country music and it brings back so many memories . Thank you for posting this great song.
I was born in Germany when my Dad was stationed there with the Canadian Army. This song reminds me of my happy childhood years living in Germany, even though it's a love/regret song. Thanks for posting it, Livingadream2!
And I still miss Anita, Gerlinde, Gitta and Cristal Szymanski from Stuttgart-Vaihingen....Patch Barracks, HQ Seventh Army,PM Section, and the Gasthaus Wuerttemberger Hof, Gartenstr. 6.
And I still miss Anita, Gerlinde, Gitta and Cristal Szymanski from Stuttgart-Vaihingen....Patch Barracks, HQ Seventh Army,PM Section, and the Gasthaus Wuerttemberger Hof, Gartenstr. 6. I just turned 72 and still miss them all!
While station in Frankfurt,49-52 was a time I will never forget.It was the best of time.The Frauliens were the pretty like no other.They told us of an aiticle in the news paper.Der Amenkanis Soldat: Over Here Over paided and Over Saxed.
Ole Bobby had a very powerful voice. I went to his funeral when he passed. I knew him well. My cousin played in Bobby's band when he did a 50's review in Branson MO. some years before he passed. He had a big wrought iron gate in front of his house with music notes and treble-clef sign on it. It was cool.The guy was a class act. Jingle Bell Rock was on the stereo and that made me think of him and thought I would have a look and see if other tunes were posted, glad I did. One of his best songs!
Baumholder American High School, Baumholder Germany 1957-1959, AFN out of Kaiserslautern, (Real) Rock and Roll prevailed in the HS culture, but my deep south roots never forgot "Fraulein" and it was still playing when I visited Grafenwohr, Bayern, for a year in 1964. I'm sure that wherever there's a GI barracks in Germany, "Fraulein" plays at the nearest local Gasthaus. Ein Prosit!
This is one of my Mom's favorite songs, and I love it too. It was great growing up and hearing all the what is now termed as classic country songs! lol The real country, that is what it was!
Heard it first in 1959 at the Robinson Barracks, Stuttgart Germany, and yes, I never forgot my beautiful fraulein, Hannilore. Never to have a time like that again, great music, that meant something, beautiful women and great beer.
first heard this in dusseldorf in 58 doing national service , it was played on AFNs country music programme every morning at 6-05 . if the good lords willing and the creeks dont rise, see you in the morning at 6-05 , bet no one remembers that
I remember back in the late 50's when I was in the Navy at NAS Jacksonville a bunch of use to go to the club after work, drink beer and play this song over and over.
Hans Glueck~great song . i was a little boy living by the Rhein river where american soldiers used to camp and train all summer long. for us there was nothing more exciting than staying out with the soldiers and watching when at nightfall military police was chasing the "frauleins" and would arrest them in a police car. this song is always reminding me of my childhood.
@Prince3710 I am glad to see that good country music is still appreciated. I have lived six decades and yet I was too young to remember the music of the late forties and early fifties. I am thankful for YouTube so that we can still have access to these great songs. My best wishes to you in finding more classic country music.
@MeTaLcOrE1616 Bobby Helms is the first one I heard it by and made it a huge hit. Lawton Williams wrote the song and I never heard him sing it, but he may have had the original version of the song. I hope this helps.
@MeTaLcOrE1616 Texas singer/songwriter Lawton Williams wrote the song and may have recorded it locally, but Bobby Helms is the first one I heard it by and he is the one who made it famous.
it brings me back to my gandma's house memories... cold wind blowing while its playing my uncle singingalong while i was doing my assignment... i almost memorise this lyrics but not my assignment... i still and always love to listen and hear this lovely tune, thanks for uploading...

Yeah, ok mate. Funny, you people make stupid comments like this, but have nothing else to say. If you have a reason to WHY it is gay, then you can comment. Otherwise, you look very very silly.
A #1 hit for Bobby Helms on the Country & Western Charts. It was also the seventeenth #1 C&W hit in the Rock Era. Sadly, Bobby is no longer with us. I hope that every country music artist of today remembers who helped set the table for them today.
this song brings back memories sitting at the banks by the river rhein in Mainz, Germany and listing to this song. During this time I enjoyed every moment and I will never forget this time specially by hearing this song.
Well, through another site, ROBINSON BARRACKS, I had a great conversation with a person that left there before I arrived, and he concurred, what a great, great hardship.
When I say that the most beautiful women where from Germany, they were. It is was a more innocent time, but it allowed us to be real men, with real women.
If you can't dance to this, you just can't dance. Ah yes, this is one of those songs I learned to dance to so many years ago......Hmmmm, I can't remember that far back. This a really great song sung by a really great singer. Thanks a million for posting this.
I wonder if this song is still playing in the White Eagle bar in Lowell, MA We listered to this over and over again while stationed at Fort Devens MA.
Boy would it be great to find someone, hopefully an old friend from Robinson Barracks in Stuttgart. Yes, there were a lot of angry women trying to understand why they were left, as they were simply every man's dream.
Stuttgart-the haufbrau's, the battle of the bahnhof's, curfew, sneaking in, just because of one more "kiss". Great saturday nights, music, dancing and drinking all of the beer. October fest in Munich. Manuevers, cleaning the equipment, etc., all the time thinking of my FRAULEIN.
This song may be an oldie and i like it and i know what a Fraulein is. I am 22 lol. I had german in hi-school and in college and hope to vist Deutschland someday and who knows i may meet a Fraulein that likes me.
Mathias H Wang GIRL DIED IN 1993, A MAN BURIED HER IN HER OWN home when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will stand at the side of your bed starring straight into your eyes. She will suffocate you... like she was suffocated. This story is sadly true. If you post this 5 differnt timesshe will not bother you
@girbaud816 Can't believe you don't know what a fraulein is.
Where the heck did you grow up? A fraulein is a german girl, and this song brings back MANY memories from 1957,more than likely before your time. You should maybe google it or find about it on this side. I'ts a great love story and I remember it after 57 years and love it like on day one. I WILL NEVER FORGET
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@4717946 That was uncalled for. All you had to say was that Fraulein is the German word for "Miss". You had no reason to insult anyone because they didn't know yet.
@girbaud816 "Fräulein" is the German word for a young unmarried woman = Miss. For spinsters we have more unpolite names, but it's correct to call them "Fräulein" too ...
What a song sung with so much feeling! He let's it all out, sings it like he means it. Just like all older country music stars. I won't comment on the trashy new country and pop where everyone sounds alike.
I used to listen to this song sung, at the street dances we had in the town I lived in, in the 60's, I was 14 yrs old and have been facinated with this song ever since
If someone from Robinson Barracks, 1960, Stuttgart reads this, say hello. Also, if Marlene Schmidt reads this, I never forgot you. BIG MISTAKE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU.
@pjkcheah funny, I'm 15 and I plan on loving this song until I'm at least 65 or dead. Bobby helms was an amazing artist, I just wish I'd have been alive when his music was on the radio(other then jingle bell rock).
Any one ever heard the RCA "Foreign love affairs" 4 song extended play. It had this great song and one titled "Madamoiselle" and another titled "Foreign love affairs".I played that till the thing wore out.
You are very lucky to have a grandpa who is very memorable. I really loved this song because the first time I hear this song when I was just a child I loved it instantly. I first heard this song sang by a man I know named Floro Alboroto from Bohol, Philippines and migrated to Hawaii in his olden age, Thanks Bobby and Floro for bringing this song into my life.
Still great, Robinson Barracks 1960, and Hannalore Schmidt, never forgot you, and was a fool to leave without you.

@Prince3710 I am glad to see that good country music is still appreciated. I have lived six decades and yet I was too young to remember the music of the late forties and early fifties. I am thankful for YouTube so that we can still have access to these great songs. My best wishes to you in finding more classic country music.
Sincerely,
Don

who's the original of this song
MeTaLcOrE1616 1 year ago
@MeTaLcOrE1616 Bobby Helms is the first one I heard it by and made it a huge hit. Lawton Williams wrote the song and I never heard him sing it, but he may have had the original version of the song. I hope this helps.

@MeTaLcOrE1616 Texas singer/songwriter Lawton Williams wrote the song and may have recorded it locally, but Bobby Helms is the first one I heard it by and he is the one who made it famous.

Yeah, ok mate. Funny, you people make stupid comments like this, but have nothing else to say. If you have a reason to WHY it is gay, then you can comment. Otherwise, you look very very silly.

A #1 hit for Bobby Helms on the Country & Western Charts. It was also the seventeenth #1 C&W hit in the Rock Era. Sadly, Bobby is no longer with us. I hope that every country music artist of today remembers who helped set the table for them today.

Well, through another site, ROBINSON BARRACKS, I had a great conversation with a person that left there before I arrived, and he concurred, what a great, great hardship.
When I say that the most beautiful women where from Germany, they were. It is was a more innocent time, but it allowed us to be real men, with real women.

Boy would it be great to find someone, hopefully an old friend from Robinson Barracks in Stuttgart. Yes, there were a lot of angry women trying to understand why they were left, as they were simply every man's dream.
Stuttgart-the haufbrau's, the battle of the bahnhof's, curfew, sneaking in, just because of one more "kiss". Great saturday nights, music, dancing and drinking all of the beer. October fest in Munich. Manuevers, cleaning the equipment, etc., all the time thinking of my FRAULEIN.

Mathias H Wang GIRL DIED IN 1993, A MAN BURIED HER IN HER OWN home when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will stand at the side of your bed starring straight into your eyes. She will suffocate you... like she was suffocated. This story is sadly true. If you post this 5 differnt timesshe will not bother you

girbaud816 1 year ago
@girbaud816 Can't believe you don't know what a fraulein is.
Where the heck did you grow up? A fraulein is a german girl, and this song brings back MANY memories from 1957,more than likely before your time. You should maybe google it or find about it on this side. I'ts a great love story and I remember it after 57 years and love it like on day one. I WILL NEVER FORGET

This comment has received too many negative votes show
@4717946 That was uncalled for. All you had to say was that Fraulein is the German word for "Miss". You had no reason to insult anyone because they didn't know yet.

@girbaud816 "Fräulein" is the German word for a young unmarried woman = Miss. For spinsters we have more unpolite names, but it's correct to call them "Fräulein" too ...

What a song sung with so much feeling! He let's it all out, sings it like he means it. Just like all older country music stars. I won't comment on the trashy new country and pop where everyone sounds alike.

You are very lucky to have a grandpa who is very memorable. I really loved this song because the first time I hear this song when I was just a child I loved it instantly. I first heard this song sang by a man I know named Floro Alboroto from Bohol, Philippines and migrated to Hawaii in his olden age, Thanks Bobby and Floro for bringing this song into my life.
