Jerry Lee Lewis

Across deep blue waters
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Well I loved her and left her
But God knows I can't forget her
She was my lovely Fraulein

Fraulein, Fraulein
Walking down by the river
Pretending your hand's clutched mine
By the same stars above you
I swear to God, woman, I love you
You are my lovely Fraulein

We can hear you brother

As your memories wander
Way back over yonder
To an old sweetheart you left behind?
I think you may be too loud on your fiddle
You're causin' us a roar back there, son
Just tune it right you might get some
From your pretty Fraulein

Fraulein, Fraulein
Look up towards God's Heaven
Each night when that moon starts to shine
Give me some rhythm on the guitar, son
By the same stars above you
I swear that I love you
You are my lovely Fraulein

[Incomprehensible]

Fraulein, Fraulein
Good luck, may God bless you
You know we had ourselves a good time
But I'm goin' home now, darlin'
I got somebody waitin' for me
You were my lovely Fraulein

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
