[Intro] (Ooh-yeah, mmm...) Rhein river flowin' sweet, yuh know? Heinrich Heine inna di dance... Lord, have mercy. Watch di water, watch di water... [Verse 1] I don’t know why mi heart feel so heavy today Dem ancient riddim keep washin’ my soul away Di sun a-sink low, di air gettin' cool and nice Rhine river flowin’ like a liquid paradise Di mountain peak a-glow inna di golden light A mystical feelin’ before di settle of di night. [Chorus] High up pon di rock, she sit so divine Golden jewelry, Lord, how it shine! She combin' her hair with a golden comb Bringin' di sailor-man far from him home Loreley, Loreley... Wid a melody so sweet, she make di big man cry. [Verse 2] She singin’ a song wid a powerful vibe A wundersame tune, no way yuh can hide It catch di sailor inna him small canoe He don’t see di rocks, he don’t know what to do He lookin’ up high, blinded by di grace Lookin’ at di beauty of her golden face. [Bridge] (Ease up, ease up!) Wild distress inna di man soul Lose him direction, lose him control Di river flow deep, di river flow wide No escape from di pull of di tide. [Drop / Dancehall Break] Lord! Di waves dem a-rise, di waves dem a-swell Vanquish di boatman, a story to tell She comb her hair, she sing her song One more sailor-man gwan, he gone... (Gone inna di deep!) [Outro] Yeah, dat a Loreley... Wid her golden comb and her wicked lullaby. Rhein river flowin’... Just keep flowin’... (Fade out) Loreley done it again. Mmm, yeah.
