[He:] If a fellow such as me
met a girlie such as you,
[She:] What could the poor girlie do
[He:] If the fellow such as me
Learned to love the girlie too?
[She:] And very, very soon,
Proposed a honeymoon.
If he said: "Where shall we skip,
Off upon our wedding trip?
[He:] What would your answer be?
[She:] To the south of Spain or France,
some sweet land of sweet romance,
at any rate we wouldn't disagree
[He:] If you left it all to me
I'd simply answer you
so tenderly, little girl.

When the edelweiss is blooming
down beside the deep blue Rhine,
there's a chateau old and fine,
where I'll take you Fraulein mine;
While the cuckoo birds are spooning,
we can do our honeymooning,
where the edelweiss is blooming
'round our chateau on the Rhine.

When the edelweiss is blooming
down beside the deep blue Rhine,
there's a chateau old and fine,
where I'll take you Fraulein mine;
While the cuckoo birds are spooning,
we can do our honeymooning,
where the edelweiss is blooming
'round our chateau on the Rhine.

[She:] If the fellow such as you,
took the girlie such as me,
[He:] Far over there 'cross the sea;
[She:] And the fellow such as you
Wed the girlie such as me
[He:] A loving man and wife,
we'd live a simple life,
And but little could be had,
to our hapiness to add
[She:] What could make life more sweet?
[He:] Who can tell,
but soon there'd be
Deutche kiddies, two or three,
around to make our happiness complete
[She:] The whole year would be June,
as oft to them
our lovesong we would croon, little boy

When the edelweiss is blooming
down beside the deep blue Rhine,
there's a chateau old and fine,
where I'll take you Fraulein mine;
While the cuckoo birds are spooning,
we can do our honeymooning,
where the edelweiss is blooming
'round our chateau on the Rhine.

When the edelweiss is blooming
down beside the deep blue Rhine,
there's a chateau old and fine,
where I'll take you Fraulein mine;
While the cuckoo birds are spooning,
we can do our honeymooning,
where the edelweiss is blooming
'round our chateau on the Rhine.
