The Ballad Of The Soldier's Wife
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the ancient city of Prague?
From Prague, came a pair of high-heeled shoes
With a kiss or two came the high-heeled shoes
From the ancient city of Prague
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Oslo over the sound?
From Oslo, there came a collar of fur
How it pleases her, the little collar of fur
From Oslo over the sound
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the wealth of Amsterdam?
From Amsterdam, he got her a hat
She looked sweet in that
In her little Dutch hat
From the wealth of Amsterdam
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Brussels, in Belgian land?
From Brussels, he sent her those laces so rare
To have and to wear, all those laces so rare
From Brussels in Belgian land
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Paris, City of Light?
In Paris, he got her a silken gown
'Twas ended in town, that silken gown
From Paris, City of Light
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the south, from Bucharest?
From Bucharest, he sent her a shirt
Embroidered and pert, that Romanian shirt
From the south from Bucharest
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the far-off Russian land?
From Russia, there came just a widow's veil
For her dead to bewail, in her widow's veil
From the far-off Russian land
From the far-off Russian land
From the ancient city of Prague?
From Prague, came a pair of high-heeled shoes
With a kiss or two came the high-heeled shoes
From the ancient city of Prague
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Oslo over the sound?
From Oslo, there came a collar of fur
How it pleases her, the little collar of fur
From Oslo over the sound
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the wealth of Amsterdam?
From Amsterdam, he got her a hat
She looked sweet in that
In her little Dutch hat
From the wealth of Amsterdam
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Brussels, in Belgian land?
From Brussels, he sent her those laces so rare
To have and to wear, all those laces so rare
From Brussels in Belgian land
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Paris, City of Light?
In Paris, he got her a silken gown
'Twas ended in town, that silken gown
From Paris, City of Light
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the south, from Bucharest?
From Bucharest, he sent her a shirt
Embroidered and pert, that Romanian shirt
From the south from Bucharest
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the far-off Russian land?
From Russia, there came just a widow's veil
For her dead to bewail, in her widow's veil
From the far-off Russian land
From the far-off Russian land
