Lyrics
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, he sent her 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, hе got her a hat She looked sweet in that In thе 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 the 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? From Paris, he sent her a silken gown It was envied 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 got 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, he sent her 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 Thank you.
