Ballad of the Soldier's Wife Lyrics & Tabs by Caroline Henderson
Ballad of the Soldier's Wife
guitar chords lyrics
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the ancient city of prague
From prague came a pair of high heels shoes
With a kiss or 2, came the high heels shoes
From the ancient city of prague
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Oslo over the south
From Oslo came a collar of fur
How pleased her, the little collar of fur
From Oslo over the south
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the wealth of Amsterdam
From Asterdam he got a hat
She look sweet and that and knew that hat
From the wealth of Amsterdam
From Asterdam he got a hat
She look sweet and that and knew that hat
From the wealth of Amsterdam
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Bruxelles and Belgium land
From Bruxelles he sent her laces so rare
So have and to wear,
Oh those laces so rare
From Bruxelles and Belgium land
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From Paris, the city of lights
In Paris he got her a silken gown
It ended in town, that silken gown
From Paris, the city of lights
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From the south, from Bucharest
From Bucharest, he sent her a shirt
Embroided in purf, that remain in shirt
From the south of Bucharest
What was sent to the soldier's wife
From far of Russian land,
From Russia, there came just a widow's band
From death to be wed and her widow's bells
From far of Russian land
From far of Russian land.
