When it's raining in Texas,

It snows in Berlin. 

And though your heart must be heavy,

But mine's made of lead.



Cause when it's raining in Texas,

This soldier is sad.

But if you're not my sweetheart,

I know you'll be my friend. 



Well I've been round the world now,

And thought just of you

But I never fought you for what you couldn't do. 



When it's raining in Texas,

It snows on the Rhine.

And that sad lazy river,

Would ease my poor mind. 



(Lots of Mournful Yodeling)



And when the plane leaves from Frankfurt,

It will leave me behind.

Though I'd love to come see you,

But if I'm gonna be sad ...



When it springtime in Texas,

It rains on the Rhine.

And that sad lazy river,

Will ease my poor mind. 



Yes, that sad lazy river,

Will soothe my poor soul.



Soothe my poor soul.
