Merrily we sailed along 
 Though the waves were plenty strong 
 Down the twisting river Rhine 
 Following a song... 

 Legend's faded storyline 
 Tried to warn us all 
 Oh, they called her "Loreley" 
 Careful or you'll fall... 

 Oh, the stories we were told 
 Quite a vision to behold 
 Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold... 
 Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight 
 Barnacles [bad word] a throne, my poor Loreley... 

 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... 
 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

 You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize 
 Promises are only lies from Loreley 
 In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand 
 She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land... 

 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

 Oh, the song of Loreley 
 Charms the moon right from the sky... 
 She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley... 
 When she cries "Be with me until the end of time" 
 You know you will ever be with your Loreley... 

 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...'
 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
 And the winds would cry, and many men would die 
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
 And the winds would cry, and many men would die
 And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
