James McMurtry
Fraulein O.
[Intro]
Last time I saw you
It could've been Christmas eve
It could've been someone's birthday
It could've been make believe
Fraulein O
It could've been make believe

[Verse 1]
Last time I saw you
You had the room upstairs
I never knew for certain
What went on up there
No, I never did know
What went on up there

[Verse 2]
'Course you had that boyfriend
With his Chevrolet
He never met Will Rogers
I'd be willing to say
It's safe to say
He never met Will Rogers

[Chorus]
And I guess it must've been a thousand years
Since I changed my number
Does it mean a thing
When the phone don't ring
And I don't call back?
Can't help but wonder sometimes
[Verse 3]
I never got to know you
Like I wanted to
You never seemed to notice
How I looked at you
Fraulein O
You never even noticed

[Verse 4]
Now the crowd's all scattered
To here and yon'
Everybody graduated
Or they just moved on
Fraulein O
They just moved on

[Chorus]
And I guess it must have been a thousand years
Since I lost your number
Gonna rest my soul
By this fishin' hole
Gonna watch that pole
'Til my float goes under

[Intro]
Last time I saw you
It could've been Christmas eve
It could've been someone's birthday
It could've been make believe
Fraulein O
It could've been make believe
