Lorelei Lyrics

Her name was Lorelei

She lived beside the sea

I fell in love with her

She fell in love with me

One day I broke her heart

Her jealousy held sway

She pulled me beneath the waves

And took my life away

Lorelei, Lorelei

How could it go so wrong?

I was first, but far from the last

Ensorcelled by your song

Lorelei, Lorelei

Though I am dead I pine

As you summon others

To cruel fates on the shores of Father Rhine

Here on these rocky shores

I took my final breaths

You sing your siren songs

And lure men to their deaths

Ludwig, the Prince's son

He fell under your spell

And soon He was undone

His ship and crew as well

Lorelei, Lorelei

How could it go so wrong?

I was first, but far from the last

Ensorcelled by your song

Lorelei, Lorelei

Though I am dead I pine

As you summon others

To cruel fates on the shores of Father Rhine

The Prince sent his army men

To punish what you'd done

You laughed and you took your pearls

And dropped them one by one

Into the depths they sank

And a chariot arose

You sped through the waves away

While the silent army froze

Lorelei, Lorelei

How could it go so wrong?

I was first, but far from the last

Enscorcelled by your song

Lorelei, Lorelei

Though I am dead I pine

As you summon others

To cruel fates on the shores of Father Rhine

They still tell the story of

Our love and of its pain

They say that at night

You can still hear the sweet refrain

Of Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei

Lorelei
